To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
It’s finally out!! My book, A Relief Society That Brings Women to Christ, is now available at Amazon. Order my new book here. There are a lot of books being published answering questions about women and the Priesthood. I admit, originally that was my question too. But, over the years, as I’ve studied what the […]
Is it really true? Is Relief Society the last place on earth a girl can learn how to be a mother? Perhaps, there are other organizations out there, but it’s likely our church is the last and only place motherhood is praised. In fact, our church offers so many tools to help mothers be distinct […]
Have you ever wondered where the title, “Mother in Israel” comes from? I would like to share my interesting journey of discovery as I have come to understand our vital role in the kingdom of God. We can find Mother in Israel used twice in the scriptures. Once, when Deborah the prophetess, calls herself a […]
The argument about women and the priesthood has been going on for a long time. But the glorifying answers have been around for just as long a time, even longer. The truth has always been given to us. An article written by Leah Widtsoe in 1933 clarifies brilliantly. Leah Dunford Widtsoe was the wife of […]
Because there is a war going on between good and evil, sometimes I wonder what Relief Society is doing about it. Is it okay to talk about issues that are controversial during class or activities? Not to be controversial, but to become aware of the evil around us and know how to stand for truth. […]
I just discovered a wonderful talk, given by Spencer W. Kimball back in 1958, entitled, “Women, Wonderful Women!” His charge is to motivate us to be mothers righteous enough to create a whole community of righteousness. Elder Kimball focuses his talk on the mothers of the Stripling Warriors. “These sisters must have been organized to […]
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 […]
When our children were young, we used to play a made-up game for FHE. At dinnertime, my husband would announce, “Let’s play Nephites and Lamanites tonight!” and a whoop would rise to the rafters while I would silently moan unnoticed and ignored. The family would divide into two teams. It wasn’t about being on the good team […]
Last Mother’s Day, I invited Katie Covey Mangus to share the talk she gave at our Sacrament Meeting, because I thought it was brilliant, and asked if I could post it here on this site. You’ll see why for yourself as I have reposted it below for you to enjoy again. One short year later […]
We all know the dangerous distraction of talking or texting on our cell phones while driving. Hands free driving is not only an important safety guide, it is a law. This week I ran across an article written by a mom who found that in her own life the distraction of a cell phone lost […]
