Paisley: Hi everybody. PAISLEY in perfect hair with another
makeup plan Monday. And today we're going to be looking at the
week of August 12.
I'm showing a different screen today. Today, I thought we would
look at the church's website and come up with our our make a plan
Monday, our plan for makeup plan Monday, using the website
instead of the app, just to give another perspective. And also, I
know that there are people who prefer to do their scripture
study on their computer rather than on their phone or on their
iPad. Also, it's a little bit easier to find time stamps
looking at it this way.
So right now, I'm just on the church's homepage. And if we
click on Libraries up here at the top, and then we can go
straight here to come follow me, brings up the available
resources
we're looking at home and church, Book of Mormon, 2024 so
I'm going to click on that, go over here to August, and pull up
August 12 through 18th.
So we're looking at ALMA chapters, 43, through 52 and I
already wrote that down. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, so we're
looking at 10 chapters. I guess I could have just done the math
on that. We're looking at 10 chapters in the book of Mormon.
I usually break mine down into six days and not count count
Sunday because I do we do other things, family night and whatnot
on Sundays. So 10 chapters in six days, two chapters most
days, just kind of off the top of my head.
But as I scroll down, oh, there are opportunities for us to
create notes right there in the app, which is awesome if you log
in. So if you're logged in on your phone or on your tablet,
you can tap on it's like a little square with a pencil on
it. You can tap on that and add a note right in there. If you,
if you choose to use the website instead, you'll need to go up to
the top and click the Sign In button if you want to add notes
there, it's the same sign in info that you would use on your
phone or on your tablet.
But you can, it looks like there's a question here. Record
your thoughts below on what notice what the Nephites did
that made them successful or unsuccessful, and ponder how you
can use what you learned to help you win your spiritual battles.
And then you can create notes based on these verses. If you
want to do that. Honestly, I probably won't, but I, I like
that. The opportunity is there.
There's another talk down here. Embrace the future with faith
and a hymn if you want to listen more scriptures for the Strength
of Youth, a family, the family, a proclamation to the world,
young women and Aaronic priesthood quorum themes, if you
want to jump into those, there is a gospel topic, faith in
Jesus Christ.
This video I already clicked on. This is Moroni raising the title
of liberty. There's another talk here, Christian courage, the
price of discipleship. Sounds interesting. I'm going to go
back and listen to that one.
There's another video here. They recommend using, or ask you to
consider using chapter 31 from the Book of Mormon Stories book
to help tell the story to your children the and there's also a
couple of videos here to help with that as well.
There's a third video down here about Captain Moroni and the
title of liberty, another song that one from the children's
song book, and a couple of pictures. Okay, as usual, I went
through and gathered all of the time stamps for us, and they're
all kind of long this week, I'm not gonna lie, when I took all
of the minutes and all of the seconds and I did all of the
math, it comes to, on average, about 27 minutes per day, little
over 27 minutes per day.
Normally, I like to keep mine between 10 and 15 minutes,
because I know I can accomplish that. So what I did was I took
all of the my priority, if we go back to our our decide document
do, part of deciding is figuring out what your priority is going
to be, right? My priority is always direct from the
scriptures. So my priority is the 10 chapters in the book of
Mormon, but I really would like to listen to that talk from
President Nelson called embrace the future with faith, and also
the one Christian courage, the price of discipleship. I would
really like to get into those as well.
So I took. Make all of it. And I came up with my 30 minute plans
for each day, and I'll share those on my Instagram page and
on my Facebook page too, so that you can see those if, in case
you want to follow along. In order for me to do that, I
needed to bunch the scriptures all up towards the beginning of
the week. So I did three chapters on Monday, three
chapters on Tuesday, three chapters on Wednesday, and the
last one on Thursday, and then the rest of the stuff is kind of
bundled up there at the end of the week. I may change it before
I post it, or maybe I'll just post two different plans, one
that has this that's scripture heavy at the beginning, and
other content towards the end, and then the other one would be
a little bit of the Scriptures and a little bit of the other
stuff every day.
In fact, I will probably go back and redo it so I do it that way,
because then if something happens, and I can, and I really
only can, do 10 minutes or 15 minutes, then at least I get my
scriptures in the chapters in the book of Mormon. Chapter 43
just for an example, is 14 minutes, 21 seconds. 44 is eight
minutes. 45 is six and a half. 46 is 11 and a half. 47 is 1048.
Is seven about 20 seconds. 49 is eight and a half. 50 is 11
minutes. 51 and 52 are also 11 minutes each. So scripture heavy
this week, but it's also about Captain Moroni. Who doesn't love
Captain Moroni, so it will be a very interesting read to say the
least.
Okay, so that's how I'm going to split it up. I hope that you are
having a great August.
My kids are starting school this week, so I know it's going to be
busy, and trying to fit a half an hour in might be a little
unrealistic. We don't want our scripture study plans to be
unrealistic, because then we'll never get them done. We want
them to be realistic, and it's better to start somewhere than
have nothing.
So even if you're only starting with one verse every day, start
where you are. It doesn't matter, start where you are, and
we'll get there. We'll get there together. Last week, I think I
did a half an hour every day, or it was probably closer to 25
minutes every day. I've never had time for that before. So,
and I hate to even say that, right? You never want to say I
don't have time to study my scriptures, but I have to be
realistic with myself, or I won't get anywhere anyway.
Keep your eyes open, Instagram and Facebook. I'll post the plan
there the checklist, so that you can follow along if you want to.
And yeah, that's it. Thank you so much for being here for
another make and plan Monday.
