To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
There are many paintings, sculptures, and depictions of Christ. Some are just beautiful, others not so much. I thought, as a celebration of Easter, I would share some of my favorites of our Savior, Jesus Christ. I really love how she depicts him here. A mixture of strength and tenderness. His […]
Susa Young Gates was a formidable woman, and I look forward to the day I can visit and talk with her. She spoke strongly about the responsibility mothers have of teaching their children the gospel. Being the first editor of the Young Woman’s Journal, she was free to speak her mind on pretty […]
I was reading in my scriptures the other day in 2 Nephi, the dreaded Isaiah chapters. I actually love reading Isaiah’s words, because they are poetic, symbolic, and really beautiful when you read the parts of the glory of the Lord. On the other hand, realizing that he is speaking to us in our day, […]
I’m not a very good piano player; however, somehow I’ve been roped into playing every other week in Church. So, I began this year with a desperate plan to go through the entire hymnbook, reconnecting myself with all of the hymns. It turned out to be a wonderful experience and I might just keep going […]

How do we explain this tragedy […]
I am finishing up, teaching in my Book of Mormon class, the chapters of Alma in the Book of Mormon that focus on many of the great battles between the Lamanites and the Nephites. These principles can be applied to strategy and how we may personally make decisions in time of actual war. But maybe […]
I attended a leadership conference in New York City in early October of this year at the famed Radio City Music Hall where the speaker was Jim Collins, who wrote “Built to Last”, “Good to Great”, and his latest book, “Great by Choice”. He shared a two part principle from his latest book on choosing […]
The Word of Wisdom is one of the signatures of our religion. We certainly know what NOT to partake of, but sometimes we forget the promises of such vital wisdom for our lives. Pres. Smith has spoken boldly and clearly. The Doctrine and Covenants is also straightforward. Sometimes no other words will do but to […]
General Conference is always highly anticipated at our house. There is always speculation to guess what some of the main themes will be. Will there be any new announcements, releasings, or sustainings? There is always something to look forward to when we listen for the most recent guidance, prophecy, and testimony of our prophet and […]
