To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
With home-centered learning, we can raise the youth battalion to wield swords of the spirit of truth. And how do we do this? By knowing and understanding the very depths of the Book of Mormon. In four places of the Doctrine and Covenants, it repeats the power of the Book of Mormon in these words: […]
How can I belong to Relief Society now that it’s only two hours a month? That is a good question. Here are some ideas to think about. First of all, every ward is unique, and it will be up to bishops and RS presidents to decide what is needed in their ward. But we are […]
We know the Lord is coming soon and the prophet has asked us to help Him gather Israel like never before. We are all called to the work of hastening the gathering. Joseph Smith learned early on that he was to lead the final dispensation. There must have been a lot of pressure on his […]
Christmas is upon us, once again. We live in a world of contrast: great abundance and destitution. May we treat Christmas with the spiritualness it deserves, making someone else’s holiday special as we reach out and serve. We were challenged, by Pres. Nelson, to read the Book of Mormon by the end of the year. It […]
Just think, Relief Society class will be held only two times each month. Is that a good thing, or a bad thing? Hopefully, you have read enough on my website to see that this isn’t a good or bad thing, but in order to obey our prophet and help him gather Israel, Relief Society leaders […]
It still amazes me how timely these talks are, in regard to what we’re experiencing today. The session this week covers the General Relief Society meeting in October 1981, and guess what the first talk is about? Transition! As we all look forward to next year’s new schedule, we are going to be adapting to […]
A General Conference Odyssey post. Years ago, while teaching a Gospel Doctrine class, I was to cover Ephesians. The first part was about marriage and the second part was the Armor of God. Who doesn’t like the armor of God lesson, right? I asked a big, burly guy to help me with this part of […]
I occasionally read through the Female Relief Society of Nauvoo Minute Book (I’m weird like that). It’s pretty inspiring what Joseph Smith is telling the women, but I’ve realized something. Back in the 19th century, women had nothing going for them. They had no rights, no voice, no way to be educated, no independent income, […]
We all know that Disneyland is the “Happiest Place on Earth.” This is their purpose. The way they got there can actually help Relief Society reach its own potential. This is what Relief Society can learn from Disney. Disney teaches every employee about their purpose and their mission. They do it by being intentional and […]
I love it when I run across a talk that casually mentions the greatness of women. In James E. Faust’s talk, in the October 1981 conference, he says, in the middle of talking about Joseph Smith, “The Church which he restored has had dramatic growth in many parts of the earth. It has produced an […]
