My new Scripture plan 2012


It's NOT TOO LATE TO START!
Finish a year from the day you started...

Read the scriptures in 365 days! It only takes about 15-20 minutes a day and it will change your life!
 
I have loved the 40 day plan to read the Book of Mormon and I am just a few days from finishing.  today I found this plan to read all the scriptures in a year. This blog. has all the information that you need.  It does not have reading for leap year so I can catch up one day then.  So I am only one day behind if I start today.  wish me luck.

Thought for the day:
“Why do the children of men set their hearts upon earthly things?   ...(the) moment that
men seek to build up themselves, in preference to the kingdom of God, and seek to
hoard up riches, while the widow and fatherless, the sick and afflicted, around them,
are in poverty and want, it proves that their hearts are weaned from their God; and their
riches will perish in their fingers, and they with them.” (Pres Brigham Young)
