To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
The topic of this lesson is Self-Reliance, but the doctrine is really how to gain spiritual peace in this life. It’s an interesting parallel. How many of us are usually fighting fires in our lives? I don’t mean the flaming kind, I mean the emergencies that come up every single day; those things that […]
Obedience is probably one of the most basic, most misunderstood, and most difficult concepts to grasp in our religion. Yet, Pres. Hinckley said it all when he said, “Simply Live the Gospel.” The Gospel he refers to is Jesus Christ. He is Lord and Master over all things. He loves us so much He […]
In order to fully understand this message, we have to understand what the word–consecration– means. Typically, we think of sharing our own time and talents to building the kingdom of God, which is true, but I believe this month’s lesson goes much deeper than that. First of all, I’d like to talk about Visiting […]
Face it, we all like to see that others are imperfect. Yeah, we all do it! Somehow, it makes us all accept our humanness and puts us all on the same playing field. Listening to the new Relief Society Presidency (speaking at the BYU Women’s Conference), I can see just how human–and like me–they are. […]
This General Conference Odyssey post is for the April 2017 General Conference: Wow! General Conference, and listening to our prophets, was great! I was reminded of so many wonderful things. I learned where I needed to improve, and I felt the spirit strengthening my resolve to follow the Savior. What else matters? It’s almost […]
A General Conference Odyssey post for the October 1975 Priesthood session of General Conference. I have a friend who at one time felt very weak in the gospel. Her parents, her husband, and her children weren’t active. She alone came to church, mostly because she had friends there. We had many conversations together and one […]
This week General Conference Odyssey covers the Saturday afternoon session of October 1975. This past week, I listened to a session at the UN where one woman after another got up to demand the world pay attention to human rights; the poor, the women, the alternative lifestyles, etc. They conjoin worthy rights with radical […]
This is a General Conference Odyssey post for the Saturday morning session of October 1975 General Conference. This month, covenant women of the church will celebrate the birthday of the Relief Society. With this in mind, I have captured the thoughts of two conference talks in this particular session: Covenants and Blessings, by William H. […]
This General Conference Odyssey post covers the Friday afternoon session of October 1975. For God, nothing is impossible. It was during this conference that Thomas S. Monson first mentioned Christal Methvin, of Shreveport, Louisiana. She was the little girl who prayed a General Authority to her side. Elder Monson was the visiting […]
This General Conference Odyssey post covers the Friday session of October 1975. Once again, this General Conference centers on the truth that it is better to follow God and His prophet. That a prophet’s prophetic view is better than a man’s nearsightedness. That teaching truth to the next generation is of supreme importance. […]
