To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
I just finished reading a book about a family that hid a terrible secret. Their father was abusive. It turned out the father was mentally ill, and the family didn’t realize it until a lot of damage to the family had already been done. How do spouses escape? How do children survive? What can others […]
This afternoon’s session, of the October 1983 General Conference, Thomas S. Monson speaks of Labels. We still suffer from this disease today, don’t we? And what is the cure? Elder Monson suggests “the change [is] one of attitude.” In storytelling fashion, he gives two examples: A certain town in Canada has been labeled as difficult […]
Have you seen the latest organizing phenom? Her name is Marie Kondo and she is helping people clean up their lives. I’ve been hearing amazing things about her show, Tidying Up, and finally sat down to watch a few episodes. I was blown away with how relatable her methods are to what Relief Society can […]
Reading General Conference talks really helps us stay focused on the important things, don’t you agree? Reading over and over the warning words of our prophets are meant to help us stay on the path, stay true, and to keep our testimonies bright. The words of our prophets will never fail us for they speak […]
Like many others, I just saw Unplanned at the movie theaters. It’s an interesting dilemma to watch people do something about a problem and go home and resume a normal life. What do “normal” people do when they want to change the world? It’s too overwhelming to even think about. This post is not about […]
Only recently have parents begun teaching their children openly about inappropriate sexual relations. In the past, this was a taboo subject and children were left to learn from friends off the street or personal experience. Today, parents are fighting back. They are stepping up with open conversations to protect their children from the pain and […]
I’m sure many of us were waiting for our prophet to announce more changes during General Conference. Conference for me was focused on coming unto Christ NOW. No more time for procrastination. We need to know Christ, through His scriptures, so that we can gather Israel—as we share what we know—and recognize Him when He comes. […]
If you haven’t listened or read, Elder Lawrence E. Corbridge’s talk, entitled “Stand Forever,” you really ought to. The reason for his talk is to help us counter the negativism against the church, and its standards, by recognizing and committing to truth. We can seek God’s truth in a world of falsity. The message I […]
We teach our children the gospel of Jesus Christ so that they will know why the gospel of Jesus Christ is worth living. Our son’s family has been staying with us and I have to admire what he does with his boys. Every night, before bed, he and his wife gather their children together and […]
The other day I saw an article on the results of the World Happiness Report for 2019. This is a report that tracks happiness in various countries throughout the world. Apparently, the United States has been taking a downward slope for a few years now. I didn’t check where all countries stood, but I imagine […]
