We're almost halfway through! How do you feel about that? How has your studying gone this year? We're looking at Doctrine and Covenants sections 60-63 this week and it looks like we're going to get into the law of chastity a bit. This week's checklist has us averaging about 15-16 minutes each day this week; totally doable, right? You can find the full checklist here: https://paisleyimperfect.com/m...

We only have two sections of the Doctrine & Covenants to study this week, but by the looks of it, they're gonna be heavy sections. Here's this week's checklist to make it easy: https://paisleyimperfect.com/make-a-plan-monday-june-2-8/ Only about 15 minutes every day. We can handle that! It looks like we'll be learning more about the Atonement and about keeping the Sabbath day holy. When you're...

Welcome back everyone! I am so grateful that you keep coming back for more. This week we're getting into sections 51-57 of the Doctrine & Covenants and I'm excited to learn. Based on what little I've read so far, it looks like it's going to be about the law of consecration and how the Saints back then were able to move and find places to live. It could not have been an easy thing to deal with;...

By the looks of it, we're going to be learning about marriage and it's eternal role in the plan of salvation this week. That could be a trigger for some and I want to acknowledge that. Please remember that we teach the ideal so that when it's realized in the celestial kingdom we'll know what to expect. It won't be some awkward surprise; it will be something we've always hoped for but didn't necess...

It's my 100th episode! Can you believe it?! I can't. I wanted to do something special for the 100th, but then I had family in town and sick kids and it just didn't work out. It's ok though. I'll get there again. Instead we have just a plain ol' Make-a-Plan Monday. This week, we're looking at Doctrine & Covenants sections 46-48 and are learning about spiritual gifts. I have so much to learn abo...

This year is flying by! I say that a lot but I'm constantly amazed at how far along we already are. I'm also grateful for the opportunity to learn the things I've learned about Church History this year. What's your favorite thing that you've learned (or relearned) so far this year? It's a pretty light week this week; just one check list and only about 16 minutes every day. Doable, but remember tha...

Are you ready to start a new month already? This year is flying by! We only have one checklist this week and, on average, are spending about 22 minutes a day in our scriptures, listening to conference talks, or watching videos that will help us grow closer to our Savior. You can download the list at https://paisleyimperfect.com/make-a-plan-monday-april-28-may-4/. I truly hope that you are enjoying...

How was your Holy Week last week? I did not make it through all of the things; there were a lot of things! I tried and got through a lot of it, but just couldn't do it all. It's ok though; the Lord loves effort! This week we're getting into Doctrine and Covenants sections 37-40. There's only one study plan for the week (link below), and we will only average about 16 minutes per day. That's totally...

Palm Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week, the final week of Jesus Christ's life. As a Church, we've been working to make Easter more prominent in our lives. Yes, the birth of Jesus was important, but without his death and resurrection, we would be stuck in an endlessly fallen state. Because he was resurrected, we can be too. As part of our preparations for Easter, we get to start on our study...

I hope everyone enjoyed General Conference this weekend. The theme that stood out to me the most was getting prepared for the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. I also thought it was interesting that we were told that a study of the Restoration would help prepare us for the Second Coming. There are two different plans this week, but Plan B is really only about 2 minutes longer each day than Plan A. Th...

Getting right into April with the Plan of Happiness! I know I've mentioned it before, but the Plan of Happiness is my favorite thing to talk about! I'm so excited to learn more about it this week. There's only one study plan for this week, and we're only averaging about 12 minutes a night. That's good news because that means there will still be time to prepare ourselves for General Conference next...

We're closing up March with Doctrine & Covenants sections 27 and 28. We get to learn more about the sacrament! There's only one checklist for this week's studies and you can find it at https://paisleyimperfect.com/make-a-plan-monday-march-24-30/. We're averaging about 19.5 minutes each day this week, but Elder Ballard takes us on a 25 minute journey on Saturday. I miss him.

Hi Everyone! We're right in the middle of March and I feel like we're finally into the swing of things for this year. There are two study plans to choose from this week and you can find both of them at https://paisleyimperfect.com/make-a-plan-monday-march-17-23/ . I hope you're enjoying the things that you're learning! And, if you didn't get a chance to read or listen to President Oaks' talk title...

This week has some really good stuff! Obviously, there are a few sections of the Doctrine and Covenants, but we're also getting into the organization of the Church, talking about prophets, and learning more about the keys and authority of the priesthood. There's only one study plan this week - you can find it at https://paisleyimperfect.com/make-a-plan-monday-march-10-16/ . Our average study time...

We're getting into sections 10 and 11 of the Doctrine & Covenants this week. A lot of the history of these sections overlaps stuff we've already looked at. Don't worry though; that means that we can review it for stuff we missed the first time around. It also means that there's only one study plan for this week. And it's short. You can download it here: https://paisleyimperfect.com/make-a-plan...

Here we are - at our first full week of March! There isn't a ton of stuff to look at this week (like there has been in the past) so we only have one quick checklist (which you can download at https://paisleyimperfect.com/make-a-plan-monday-march-3-9/ ). Our Savior suffered in Gethsemane for you and for me. And I believe that he would have done it if it had only been for you. Or for me. He loves yo...

Can you believe we're already wrapping up February?! I feel like I was just saying that about December. Time is flying by! There's only one section from the Doctrine & Covenants for us to review this week, but a few General Conference talks for us to take a look at too. It's super light compared to last week, for sure. There's only one checklist for this week and each day averages out to a bit...

I hope you're ready for this week! Last week was light - this week... not so much! There are two study plans to choose from this week and you can find them both here: https://paisleyimperfect.com/make-a-plan-monday-february-17-23/ Plan A averages about 15-16 minutes each day, and Plan B is closer to an hour. If you can't do the full hour, don't worry! Do what you can. We're just trying to be a lit...

This week we're looking into sections 6, 7, 8, and 9 of the Doctrine & Covenants. There wasn't as much this week as there has been in the past, and some of the things they've listed are things we've already looked at. So, there's only one study plan this week. You can download it here: https://paisleyimperfect.com/make-a-plan-monday-february-3-9/ If you have time, go take a look at the Topics...

I misspoke right at the beginning of the video (arg) and said that we're wrapping up February. Obviously, we're just starting February and are really wrapping up January. Oops! I've put together two plans again this week. Plan A is short and will get you through the sections, a couple of General Conference talks, an a video. Plan B is longer and includes a youth devotional from back in 2018 that's...

This year is going to fly by - we're already wrapping up January! Last week was a LOT. I don't know about you, but I did not get through it all. This week has been toned down a bit, and I've created two different plans that you can choose to work from (or create your own). Plan A averages about 9 minutes per day - some days are really short and others are longer. No day goes past 14 minutes, and t...

It's a big week this week! We're talking about The First Vision and have a few different versions to dig into. Yep - there's more than one version of The First Vision. I remember when I heard that the first time and how it blew my mind, but the more I've thought about it over the years, the more it makes sense. When was the last time you told someone about something that happened to you and told t...

We're really getting into things this week! "Come, Follow Me" is structured a lot differently for the Doctrine and Covenants this year than it was for the Book of Mormon last year and I'm pretty excited about some of the new stuff that's out there. In all honesty, it might have been structured the same way the last time we did this book and I missed it, but I'm not going to miss it this time! I've...

Hi Everyone! We get to start learning more about Church history this year and this week's focus is on the restoration. We get to talk about revelation - both for the Church (as it comes through the Prophet) and personal - the revelation we get for our own lives. You can find the linked checklist here: https://paisleyimperfect.com/make-a-plan-monday-december-30-january-5-2025/ Here's what my week l...

It's our last one for this year! Can you believe it?! We finished the Book of Mormon and now get to send some real time just on Christmas. I hope you're not already over it! There's only one checklist this week and it's kinda light. You can download the PDF version here: https://paisleyimperfect.com/make-a-plan-monday-december-23-29/ Here's a quick version: Monday: The Lord Provides a Night Withou...
