To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
April 2010, at the BYU Women’s Conference, Julie B. Beck challenged us to read the Book of Mormon with a special intent. “I have a little exercise for those of you who want something specific to do in your scripture study. Get a new little copy of the Book of Mormon. In the front of […]
Here is my interruption of the drawing that I did last week. This is a temple experience for the prophet Isaiah. The number three is very prominent. Symbolically the number three represents covenant. In the temple we as well as Isaiah make many covenants with the Lord. The seraphims are temple workers that help administer […]
There are many ways to interpret Isaiah, as seen by the many Isaiah-made-easy type books that are out there. We still struggle through, or stay clear, of that precious book. Precious, because Nephi said if we don’t understand it, we may just miss the entire boat of the purpose of earthlife. As far as I’m […]
In the story of Ruth, there is an episode where her nearest kin takes off his shoe, so she can marry Boaz. According to most scholars, the meaning behind this Hebrew tradition has been lost, however, I found a very interesting, and satisfying explanation for it from a pastor, from California. Putting his thoughts together […]
Isn’t this a beautiful phrase? What exactly is the tongue of angels, and how do we receive this gift? According to 2 Nephi 31:13 we learn that when we receive the gift of the Holy Ghost, we will be able to “speak with the tongue of angels, and shout praises unto the Holy One of […]
Maybe some of you are better at your scripture reading than I am. All I can say is I am grateful for my Gospel Doctrine calling, because I take an entire week to study scripture, cruise the Internet, and gather other reading materials that will enlighten me enough to enrich other’s lives. If I’m not […]
In Sunday School class I presented several questions as a review of the Doctrine of Covenants. One of the questions provoked quite a discussion. “What would you do if a mob pointed a gun at your child’s head and said they would shoot unless you denied your faith?” This is a question that has been […]
Did you know that Brigham Young abhorred reading novels? I quote, “There are women in our community, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty, and sixty years of age, who would rather read a trifling, lying novel than read history, the Book of Mormon, or any other useful print. Such women are not worth their room.” Brigham Young […]
Years ago, I came up with what our family called “The Tolman Covenant”. I thought it was so incredibly clever. I likened the scriptures, just as Nephi said to do, to myself, my family, and my time period. I recently ran across this little family document and I now share it with you. I don’t […]
I just have to share with you my lesson on settling the Salt Lake Valley. It was way out there enough that I hope you’ll find it interesting too. As we read in Eph 2: 19-21, Jesus Christ is the Chief Cornerstone. At each of our temples, we have cornerstones, with the Southeast being the […]
