To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
This is a General Conference Odyssey post. When was the last time you read the story of Daniel in the Lion’s Den or Paul’s conversion on the road to Damascus? These are classic scriptures that hold a message of truth that we often forget. Maybe you haven’t read all of the accounts of The First […]
This is a General Conference Odyssey post. This week we are reporting on the Priesthood session of the April 1978 General Conference. President N. Eldon Tanner spoke to the men on being “Worthy of Proper Recommendation.” He said a few interesting things that got me thinking: can men control themselves? In the news, recently, we’ve […]
I thought this most recent (Oct 2017) General Conference was particularly wonderful. I felt the power of the words spoken, that indeed, the Lord is directing His church and I received personal answers, showing ways I can improve. Conference is meant to do just that: To be messages from God through His ordained leaders and […]
This General Conference Odyssey post is for the April 2017 General Conference: Wow! General Conference, and listening to our prophets, was great! I was reminded of so many wonderful things. I learned where I needed to improve, and I felt the spirit strengthening my resolve to follow the Savior. What else matters? It’s almost […]

This past week, I listened to a session at the UN where one woman after another got up to demand the world pay attention to human rights; the poor, the women, the alternative lifestyles, etc. They conjoin worthy rights with radical […]
This is a General Conference Odyssey post for the Saturday morning session of October 1975 General Conference. This month, covenant women of the church will celebrate the birthday of the Relief Society. With this in mind, I have captured the thoughts of two conference talks in this particular session: Covenants and Blessings, by William H. […]
This General Conference Odyssey post covers the Friday afternoon session of October 1975. For God, nothing is impossible. It was during this conference that Thomas S. Monson first mentioned Christal Methvin, of Shreveport, Louisiana. She was the little girl who prayed a General Authority to her side. Elder Monson was the visiting […]
This General Conference Odyssey post covers the Friday session of October 1975. Once again, this General Conference centers on the truth that it is better to follow God and His prophet. That a prophet’s prophetic view is better than a man’s nearsightedness. That teaching truth to the next generation is of supreme importance. […]
This is a General Conference Odyssey post for the Sunday afternoon session of the April 1975 General Conference. We are entering a lost civilization that is ripening for destruction. I say this at the risk of offending someone because offending anyone is the tell-tale sign of its arrival. It is shocking, at least […]
