To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
The other day I saw an article on the results of the World Happiness Report for 2019. This is a report that tracks happiness in various countries throughout the world. Apparently, the United States has been taking a downward slope for a few years now. I didn’t check where all countries stood, but I imagine […]
There is a ferocious fight over women’s, as well as gender, rights. How did we get here? This post is intended for a Latter-day Saint audience. Our religion teaches us the value of God’s children. We have a Plan of Happiness that motivates us to live by certain commandments and covenants that can bring happiness […]
An unprecedented use of social media was addressed by The LDS Church calling a news conference on religious freedom. We learned very clearly that although people think differently, there must still be a way to live in relative harmony with one another by allowing freedom of religion and choice that does not interfere with one […]
I just had the great opportunity to see Meet the Mormons with several LDS bloggers, hosted by the Public Affairs department of the LDS Church. Some of the actors were there, so we got to hear a little more of their stories. Now, let’s talk about being real. This movie is great! Do you see […]
Now that Ordain Women is no longer the “hot topic” it was, what is left? What questions remain unanswered? Where are women looking for answers? Who has the right answers? What next?

You can’t help but want to sing along, it is all so glorious! The scriptures are full of song; praises to our King and Deliverer. By […]
This past week I had the privilege of seeing “… the rest of the story” as Paul Harvey used to say. Several years ago, I served as the Relief Society president over a branch at a small care facility. As I began attending Sacrament Meetings there I got to know many of the residents, both […]
Many of you may remember how some of the early leaders of our Church were imprisoned because they were living the law of polygamy. In those days, Salt Lake City went as far south as 5th South, so they built the Utah Penitentiary way down to where Sugar House Park now rests, thinking that location […]
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 […]
When we are given the responsibility of instrumentation (interpret this as being instruments in the hands of God), through a calling, opportunity, or inspiration other people are relying on us to succeed. If we really understood this, I am positive we would act differently. Let’s take our Callings: Most of us have Callings. Our Callings […]
