We get to look at four sections of the Doctrine & Covenants this week - the first one being section 89 which contains the Word of Wisdom.

I think we tend to remember the "don'ts" of the Word of Wisdom, but many of us fail to remember the "do's". This time, as we go through it, see if you can focus on the things we should do, rather than the things we shouldn't have. Does that make a difference for you? I know that it has for me.

This week's checklist has us studying for about 15 minutes every day. You can download it here: https://paisleyimperfect.com/make-a-plan-monday-august-18-24/

What are you looking forward to getting into the most this week? I think I'm most excited to listen to Elder Gong's talk on Thursday. Let me know what you're looking forward to!

I read through the intro to Doctrine & Covenants 88 and it looks like it has a lot of stuff that's applicable to us. Of course I realize that all of the scriptures are applicable to us, but this section talks about faith, light, obedience, laws, sanctification, and signs of the Second Coming. It also talks about establishing a temple. As a Church, we're establishing temples everywhere!

I would love to hear about what you learn (or relearn) this week in your studies. Which talks helped you the most? What did you need to hear?

Thanks everyone!

It's great that we had a little time last week to work on our family history because this week it looks like we're going to be learning about keeping a journal. Did you know that keeping a journal “counts” as doing family history? You're recording your own personal history and that's worth a lot to the people who come after us.

To be completely transparent; I am a horrible journal keeper. Frankly, I use Instagram and Facebook as my journals. That and some photo backups. You'll get no judgement from me on how well you keep your own journal.

There isn't a ton this week ; just enough to keep us busy every day for about 12 minutes. You can find the full checklist here: https://paisleyimperfect.com/make-a-plan-monday-august-4-10/

How do you like to keep a journal? Or do you?

It looks like we're going to be learning more about the priesthood this week. I've learned a lot in the last year or so about how, as a woman, I can use the priesthood. Without getting too deep into it right here, there's a difference between the power of the priesthood and the authority of the priesthood. When we receive our endowment in the temple, part of it is being endowed with priesthood power. In our callings we have authority to act within the parameters of our calling under the authority of the priesthood. I feel like our Church leaders are teaching us more and more about this and I get really excited when I learn new stuff!

Spoiler; Friday is open for some family history work!

I would love to hear about what you learn about the priesthood this time around. I love hearing it!

Have a great week!

Have you ever felt different after being set apart for a calling? And then felt different again when you were released? It's happened to me. That's a very "watered down"; version of what we're going to learn a little about this week.

We're already into sections 81-83 of the Doctrine & Covenants. Can you believe it? This has been the most meaningful study of this book that I've had so far.

Thanks for being here and for being you! Nobody does it quite like you do.

This week's "Come, Follow Me"; lesson has us looking at sections 77-80 of the Doctrine and Covenants. We always do a sneak peek with the kids and it looks like we'll be learning about the business side of the Church this week; at least how it was set up back then. Should be interesting.

We'll average out at about 13-14 minutes per day this week if you want to do use the checklist on the website, which you can find here: https://paisleyimperfect.com/make-a-plan-monday-july-14-20/.

I hope you'll come back and let me know about something new you learned (or relearned) this week! Thanks for being here!

It looks like we're going to be learning about the Atonement this week. We get to review one of my all-time favorite Conference talks; "Am I Good Enough? Will I Make It?";

It's going to be a good week!

I could be off, but based on the titles of the talks in our study plan this week, we're going to be learning more about the people we can (and should strive to) become. And it also looks like we're all going to get a small lesson in what it means to be a bishop. Maybe we'll all be a little kinder to ours after learning more?

Here's this week's checklist: https://paisleyimperfect.com/make-a-plan-monday-june-30-july-6/

Which talk are you the most excited to review? For me, it's President Oaks' "Loving Others and Living with Differences.";
