To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
I hope you were filled, like I was, after hearing the Women’s Conference last night. Sis. Eubank brought up, again, that quote from Pres. Kimball telling us of the influence we, as the Relief Society sisters, can have on the world. The fact that this prophecy is being referred to so many times tells […]
Much like “Integrity,” “Virtue” is a word that is better shown than talked about. VIRTUE–THE WORLD’S DEFINITION The dictionary states the definition of virtue as “behavior showing high moral standards.” Merriam-Webster, however, found recent evidence of how the word “virtue” is being used in our vocabulary today: By virtue of their 7 […]
We’ve all seen the recent push, by our church, for more education, especially with the new BYU-I Pathway program. I actually have a lot of thoughts about this topic that I think I’ll just list below. Warning: They are random, but possibly thought-provoking. Thirty or so years ago, our prophets urged women to stay […]
Visiting Teaching Message The world would say they are fighting for this very idea–to be of one heart, but somehow they think they can achieve it without Jesus Christ, and that would be impossible. Along with this idea, everyone demands that race, gender, and ideology be fairly treated, even specially treated to the point that everyone […]
This lesson is about as straightforward and simple as lessons come. Simply put, follow President Hinckley’s promise of the Book of Mormon found at the end of the lesson: “Brothers and sisters, without reservation I promise you that if you will prayerfully read the Book of Mormon, regardless of how many times you previously […]
The holy priesthood is one of those mysterious blessings we have been given on this earth. Women typically think it is synonymous with the men, therefore, there is no real need to understand it. The priesthood is NOT just for men, and women DO need to strive to understand it better. For someone to fight […]
The topic of this lesson is Self-Reliance, but the doctrine is really how to gain spiritual peace in this life. It’s an interesting parallel. How many of us are usually fighting fires in our lives? I don’t mean the flaming kind, I mean the emergencies that come up every single day; those things that […]
Obedience is probably one of the most basic, most misunderstood, and most difficult concepts to grasp in our religion. Yet, Pres. Hinckley said it all when he said, “Simply Live the Gospel.” The Gospel he refers to is Jesus Christ. He is Lord and Master over all things. He loves us so much He […]
In order to fully understand this message, we have to understand what the word–consecration– means. Typically, we think of sharing our own time and talents to building the kingdom of God, which is true, but I believe this month’s lesson goes much deeper than that. First of all, I’d like to talk about Visiting […]
Face it, we all like to see that others are imperfect. Yeah, we all do it! Somehow, it makes us all accept our humanness and puts us all on the same playing field. Listening to the new Relief Society Presidency (speaking at the BYU Women’s Conference), I can see just how human–and like me–they are. […]
