To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
Did you cringe when you read the title of this post? This isn’t everyone’s favorite subject, I am well aware. But I would like to tell you my feelings about Family History. Genealogy is one of the purposes for building the kingdom of God. It is one of our charges to link those who are […]
It’s clear why Relief Society has had to adapt over the years: there’s a huge number of us now (5,000,000+); so many backgrounds, countries, cultures; projects are completed, goals met, new projects and goals must begin; society demands we pay attention to various issues that concern our family’s personal welfare. One thing that always remains […]
Parents, the reality is that our children are being exposed DAILY to the temptations of evil. We have to be aware in order to fight back. I have a great blessing in my life; my husband has the gift of discernment. He can tell when something is not right with our kids and he is […]
Did you know that the Relief Society was not the only women’s organization for Mormon women? Let me tell you about it. Brigham Young was concerned, as he traveled around the territory, as he saw the women staying home from church to create lavish meals, and appearing to be more consumed with wearing stylish clothing than […]

A friend of mine made a simple comment in Relief Society, oh, about fifteen years ago. I have never forgotten it: Do not suppress a good thought. Let me tell you what that little phrase has meant to me ever since. If you have a kind thought for anyone, do it. If you even think […]
This is part 5 and the final part of a multiple part posting. Please read PART 1, PART 2, PART 3, and PART 4 to get all the background. The Menorah is the Tree of Life. As we know, the facade of the Salt Lake Temple is full of symbolism. Even its spires represent something. […]
I tape Oprah, just in case she has a good show. My husband calls her show “the gospel of Oprah” with all of her worshipers in the audience. Occasionally, she does have a good show and I’d like to talk about one I saw the other day. She had a woman on whose husband set […]
When summer comes around it’s hard to tell the difference between the Mormons and the non-Mormons. They dress alike. Our young women wear as little clothing as possible. Or else they dress pretty grungy to their church meetings. Our society is very casual, and in order to fit in we have relaxed our own standards. […]
Times have definitely changed. Back in the old days, three year old girls were learning how to embroider. Six year olds were crocheting and mending. Eight year olds were taking piano lessons and sewing. Ten year olds were cooking, gardening and tending for the family. We don’t do that kind of training anymore. I’ve noticed […]
