I have the BoM on cd and listen to them when I drive to work. The first day that I did I was thrilled when I got home and realized I wasn't stressed out. If you have ever driven on the freeways southern California, you know that it is one of those guarantees that all your muscles with be in a knot and your frame of mind has shifted off track. One of the missionaies told me that a member in one of the other wards that rides the Metrolink Train listens to the scriptures on his Ipod. There is so many techniques that members are using that I love. I have a three sets of scriptures one for work, the car and home. :)

It's quite possible to read the BoM in four weeks. However, do you want to "read" or know and understand what you have read? I tried to read all the scriptures in two years and found I was reading words. There's a lot to be said for slow and steady. Was the goal to say you have read it maybe re-read or did you want something else? Are you going to open up chapters for discussion?

March has just started and it has been interesting. First, I turned the big 50 and realized it really didn't mean anything. It's a number and nothing more! I thought it would be a double whammy as I am single, never married. But it wasn't! Maybe because I don't look or act (maybe I should say react?) to what my age to should. Hey, I guess I have been ahead of the new "What's your real age" movement. I live in Southern Cal, but grew up in Southern Arizona and New Mexico. So I am not the blond surfer girl- just one with a health respect for the sun. I am a firm believer that knowledge is impowerment, that your best friend is yourself and follow the philosophy that the only constant in life is change.
