To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
As I continue reading the Women’s Exponent, I am happy to see so many similarities. Women are the same from generation to generation. We have the same concerns and the same interests. I’ve mentioned before about the Retrenchment Association that was organized out of the Relief Society. It was originally meant to inspire the women […]
So, what does Virtue mean, anyway? In a recent Church News there are several articles discussing this value for the Young Women. It’s a good quality, but very broad, meaning many things. This is what I pulled out of all of the articles I read: “Virtue is far more than moral cleanliness and chastity, although these […]
Weather is not the reason why we wear clothing. It’s a good reason, but there is a better reason. We wear clothes to cover the body and not suggest alternate activities that can be done with the body (if you get my drift). By looking around, we can judge pretty quickly everyone by their clothing.

Elder Robert D. Hales and Sis. Elaine S. Dalton, mentioned the story of Lehonti, during our recent General Conference (Oct. 2008). Poor Lehonti. He was an example of how foolish action can jeopardize us, even unto death. (Alma 47) This is such a great story to use as an example of how Satan works; little […]
This was an article I found in the Woman’s Exponent, July 1, 1873 issue: “We wish to call attention to the subject of fashion as there has been but little said concerning it of late, and as we consider it one of the most important items pertaining to the salvation of woman. We would be […]
I had two girls go through the Young Women program, and I have to be honest, it was a hard time for them. When they served as presidents of their classes, the advisors typically took over, not giving them the opportunity to exercise leadership skills. Activities were usually thrown together at the last minute, if […]
The war chapters, in Alma, are probably my favorite in all of scripture. I have written in at the top of these chapters, FOR THE STRENGTH OF YOUTH, because I feel this is where we get the best information on how to fight the adversary and save our children. Follow along in your own scriptures […]
I was privileged to be invited to a Temple Shower years ago that literally changed my outlook on Temple Preparation. The woman giving the shower felt girls should be rewarded for their worthiness, and it was an expression of her personal love and support as each young girl entered the doors of the temple. I asked […]
When summer comes around it’s hard to tell the difference between the Mormons and the non-Mormons. They dress alike. Our young women wear as little clothing as possible. Or else they dress pretty grungy to their church meetings. Our society is very casual, and in order to fit in we have relaxed our own standards. […]
Times have definitely changed. Back in the old days, three year old girls were learning how to embroider. Six year olds were crocheting and mending. Eight year olds were taking piano lessons and sewing. Ten year olds were cooking, gardening and tending for the family. We don’t do that kind of training anymore. I’ve noticed […]
