To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
One simple sentence can summarize this week’s General Conference Odyssey session (Sunday Morning, April 1973): Man(kind) is destined for glory when we covenant (with our right hands), obey the prophet, and lead our families to the Promised Land. Having just watched the Republican Party Convention (and don’t worry, I’m not going to get political) […]
Whenever I read the Priesthood session of conference (in this case, April 1973), I like to remind myself that there are things being taught to us women, as well as to the men. President Marion G. Romney spoke on magnifying our priesthood (or power). I interpret that as increasing my stockpile of little golden nuggets of […]
David B. Haight was three years short of becoming an apostle of the Lord, Jesus Christ, when he spoke on the “Power of Evil.” The warnings were clear then, as they are in full force now, but good will over-power evil. He mentioned the degradation of society because at the time of this talk evil […]
Three things caught my attention this week in the Saturday morning session of April 1973 General Conference: Henry D. Taylor, his talk on the Sacrament, and a renewal on my part. The day after my husband and I got married, in Salt Lake City, we were looking for a place we could attend church and […]
Are we listening? Really listening? When the prophets of the Lord speak, are we listening to their warnings? And what are we doing about it? This week’s General Conference Odyssey is from the Friday afternoon session of the April 1973 General Conference, Ezra Taft Benson gave a seminal talk on why it’s so important […]
What do Zombies, Mormons, and Ants have to do with this week’s General Conference Odyssey, you ask? Let me explain. As I read through each of the talks, it occurred to me how singular the messages were: Jesus Christ is God over all, He is our leader, our exemplar, and our Savior. He has […]
I have often wondered why the Priesthood session of conference always seems to get the most doctrinal and severe gospel talks. Over the years, I would say that has leveled out, but this particular session was chalk full of life-changing gospel messages. If only we would take it and run with it. The October […]
What is a complete testimony? One that is active, cared for, whole, and complete. One that will carry us, and protect us, through ALL of life’s difficulties. We came down to this earth to prove to God that we would choose Him over and over again in spite of ups and downs, struggles, fear, […]
This week, my General Conference Odyssey report focuses on marriage and family with Elder A. Theodore Tuttle’s talk, Altar, Tent, Well. Bear with me as I retell the story of Isaac and Rebecca, and their love story. Abraham (who was the “father of the faithful”) and Israel (who was the father of the twelve […]
The General Conference Odyssey continues its journey into the October 1972 Friday afternoon session of conference. This week I combine several talks given with the idea that righteous love will help us help one another rise above “normal” into a better, happier lifestyle. As the sounds of 21st Century voices increase, the world proudly […]
