To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
A General Conference Odyssey post for the Women’s Meeting of October 1980. In Boyd K. Packer’s talk, The Circle of Sisters, he mentions the story of Nehemiah, in the Old Testament. It makes me curious to see how Nehemiah’s story relates to the Relief Society, and so I did a little research. Nehemiah’s Wall The […]
A General Conference Odyssey post on the Saturday morning session of April 1981. The Brethren are conducting “Special Stake Conferences,” where our leaders can cover better the 3500+ stakes in the church. Ours was this weekend and we were given some pretty direct council that correlates well with this week’s General Conference Odyssey report. First […]
General Conference Odyssey post on the Welfare session of October 1980. President Spencer W. Kimball spoke on Tithing. He shares a fairly well-known story about Mary Fielding Smith being told that because she was a widow she shouldn’t have to pay her tithing. Her famous snappy remark, that she expects the blessings that come from […]
I am continuing my brief refresher and review of April 2018 General Conference. Basically, we were told that we needed to practice receiving inspiration NOW, so we will recognize and know Jesus Christ. And, of course, since we’re all in this together, we want to warn and gather our friends and family, so they too […]
This is my General Conference Odyssey post continued, as I continue reviewing the remaining conference talks of April 2018. This last conference was very powerful and direct. If we are waiting for a brick to fall on our heads to signal the Second Coming of the Lord, this is it. If we aren’t reviewing the […]
This General Conference Odyssey post is for the Sunday afternoon session of October 1980. President Kimball closes this conference with a review of expectations. The conference was full of talks on loving our brothers and sisters, taking care of one another, overcoming adversity with one another, and strengthening one another. He quoted King Benjamin, who […]
General Conference Odyssey post for the Sunday morning session of October 1980. These are keywords on topics given in this session of conference. I have found while working through this Odyssey, that some sessions seem to have an overall message in them. It doesn’t always happen, but when it does it offers me a powerful message. Preparedness Restoration […]
General Conference Odyssey from the October 1980 Priesthood session I keep running into talks that emphasize ministering to one another. I don’t know if it’s inspired timing or if this topic is of such great importance, it’s always being talked about. So, here we go again. What is the big deal about Ministering? We’ve already […]
General Conference Odyssey reporting on the Saturday afternoon session of October 1980. The world is becoming more and more polarized, isn’t it? While the world teaches everyone to be tolerant of all races and species of humanity, God preaches to love one another. In the process, the world waxes colder and colder while God’s people […]
A General Conference Odyssey post for October 1980 I love Hallmark. Yes, a lot of the movies are corny and mushy, but I love the happy family expectation of it all. Oh, wait a minute, they aren’t like that anymore. Now, they’re full of divorce, infidelity, and fairy tale solutions that never really add up […]
