What is this blog?

In 2008 I stumbled upon a blog organized by a woman who wanted to read The Bible each day through the year and then comment and receive comments about the reading assignment. I decided to join and I really enjoyed the experience of discussing the passages. I wanted to continue that. I thought I would start a blog that follows the LDS Sunday School lessons, not in any way replacing them, but just to offer a venue to comment on the readings for those who don't like to/get to comment in class or don't get to go to class at all, or just anybody. 2009 was my first full year with this blog, reading the Doctrine and Covenants (all archived in 2009). 2010 I did my best to discuss the Old Testament but fell off in the fall. 2011 is a review of The New Testament, but I was even less successful in continuing with that year, but I hope to fill those in during the year! During 2012 we discuss The Book of Mormon. I will post at least once for the week's readings. I will not post on General Conference weeks and will probably be behind your current reading due to our church schedule, but hope you can still find relevancy. Also, I probably won't proofread much, so please forgive me for errors, I'll be lucky to just get a post each week in. Feel free to comment on my current week or your class' current week. Enjoy! I do!

Sum up for Emma, Mar 7th

It is no surprise that Emma is called an elect lady. And so are we. She is a classic example of "where much is given, much is required." But what a blessing to have direct instructions from the Lord about how to be elect. I'm sure she struggled to follow the Lord's counsel as, in different and hard circumstances, her patience turned to impatience, her humility turned to pride, her fatigue produced despair. But she was never far from the spirit, never far from help and reminders that hers is a unique mission. Just like ours. Her success in always standing by her husband is evident and attests to her being an elect lady.
