To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
There is always something to worry about. My list consists of school, work, boys, friends…just life in general. I’m sure you have a list too. No matter the size, those worries are there. Our worries can debilitate us. With graduation around the corner, I am moving into the next chapter of my life. I thought […]
There is so much power in the knowledge we have of our divine origin, and of who we truly were before we came to this earth. The scriptures teach us that we were “noble and great”, that we were the “faithful daughters” of Mother Eve, and that we took an active role in the councils […]
This Easter season, I have found myself thinking a lot about my great-grandmother Opal and grandmother Dixie, both who have past away in the last couple of years. With these women in mind, John 11:25-26 has meant more to me. I am the Resurrection and the Life; he that believeth in me, though he were […]
We live in a busy world. We often complain, “I’m too busy,” or “I’m fighting fires here,” or “I’ll get to it when I have a minute to breathe.” But what does that really mean? There is no doubt that our calendars are full, but what are they really full of? The honest answer is […]
I have a friend, Ann, who broke both her legs right before Christmas. Now, to most of us, this would be a disaster in the proportions of the apocalypse.

I’m realizing more and more just how profitable it is to search the scriptures, learn from them, then teach the beautiful doctrine that is in them. First, there is no way we can remember everything that is in those pages, so they must be read over and over again, and Second, as we confront all […]
Thanksgiving always gives us time to reflect where our level of gratitude is. This article, written by a dear friend of mine, helps put things in perspective for us. How can we enjoy closer, warmer associations with our children, our neighbors, and our business associates? May I suggest that the magic word is gratitude. […]
I recently watched an old videotaping of the Phil Donahue Show with three women who brazenly forfeited their membership in the LDS Church because they were feminists and didn’t like the church’s stand (this was back in 1993). Briefly, I’ll quickly give you the lineup of these women, but it’s the fourth woman I would […]
This past General Conference, we heard two talks on the Atonement. There were also talks given on Desire, Hope, and The Sabbath and the Sacrament, which closely relate to this topic. Elder Kent F. Richards reminded us how the Atonement covers all the pain that we experience. And Elder C. Scott Grow spoke on how […]
In the last chapter of Mosiah, chapter 29, there is a big change in the Nephite form of government. King Mosiah knows his reign is coming to an end and all of his sons have left to preach the gospel to the Lamanites so he has no heir to pass on the kingship. Via inspiration, […]
