To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
I just came across a wonderful talk given by Patricia Holland back in 1999. How much do we love both Elder and Sister Holland! Speaking at the BYU Women’s Conference, she talked about having a better attitude about the challenges and struggles we face in this life. I assume you won’t think me too bold […]
From everyone I’ve talked to, the afternoon block of meetings on Sunday is highly undesirable. Being right smack in the middle of the day gives me no time to really do anything! We used to belong to a ward that had its own building, so we set the block of meetings, year after year, at […]
Last Sunday we had a lesson on how to keep feeling the spirit throughout the week. It’s an interesting question as we go about our busy lives, struggling just to keep up with a burning schedule. But isn’t that really what Satan wants us to think? If we don’t make time for the spirit what […]
So many women are doing good things today. We should all keep our eyes and ears open to extend ourselves and share our unity in faith. Some bright young women, at Brigham Young University, have developed a film about strong Mormon women. You may be interested in watching this 30 minute video at their website […]
Something that always keeps me going, and eager to start a new year, is the opportunity to set new goals…fun and exciting (for me) goals. It also helps that I actually completed the goals I set this past year, so I am raring to go for 2013. Waiting for things to happen in […]
It’s Christmas Time…and our nation grieves for the 20 children and 8 adults who were gunned down in Connecticut.

How do we explain this tragedy […]
While driving through the mountains on a crisp beautiful autumn day, I viewed the splash of brilliant colors in all their beauty. While not quite as magnificent as an east coast display with its giant purple red maple leaves mixed among the yellow, orange, and rich browns that make up a true autumn spectacular, […]
Our busy lifestyles can be overwhelming. All of us get caught up in the everyday drudgery of our “to-do” list. And if it’s not things we’re having to do, it’s worries that weigh us down, or health and safety issues, and so many things that life in general subscribes to. We have been told by […]
Conversion is a strong and repeated theme in the Book of Mormon. Some of my favorite examples of full conversion are that of Alma the younger and the Sons of Mosiah. They experienced so complete a turn-around after being visited by the Angel, that the Sons of Mosiah, who were heirs to the Nephite kingdom, […]
The Bonneville YSA stake put together a musical production, Rob Gardner’s “Lamb of God”. This is an oratorio consisting of the Savior’s last week of his life. The oratorio begins the biblical story of Mary, Martha, and their brother Lazarus. After the death of Lazarus, Martha comes to the Savior singing, “Touch my heart, and […]
