To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
With three talks bearing witness of Jesus Christ, this week, how can I pass up an opportunity to proclaim how wonderful His atoning sacrifice is to me. I stand all amazed at the love Jesus offers me, Confused at the grace that so fully he proffers me. I tremble to know that for me […]
As the closing strains of “As I Have Loved You, Love One Another…” faded in the air, I wrote down my final thoughts from the messages shared at stake conference this past weekend. The message was clear: Brethren, love your wives. Sisters, love your husbands. Show your love more, use the priesthood in your homes, […]
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will always, and forever, talk about the importance of righteous influence in our homes. Every talk, given in this October 1973 session of conference, can be tied to how we must conduct ourselves IN our families, as well as OUT in the world because of the expected […]
The message of the final session of the April 1973 General Conference was, without a doubt, Jesus Christ is the Lord and Savior of the World. President Harold B. Lee stated, in his closing address, “I know the reality of the person who is presiding over this church, our Lord and Master, Jesus […]
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.

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 […]
