To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
This is a General Conference Odyssey post for the Sunday afternoon session of the April 1975 General Conference. We are entering a lost civilization that is ripening for destruction. I say this at the risk of offending someone because offending anyone is the tell-tale sign of its arrival. It is shocking, at least […]
This is a General Conference Odyssey post for Sunday Morning session of April 1975 conference. Typically, when something is repeated in scripture, it’s because it’s important. So, if we don’t catch it the first time, hopefully, we’ll catch it the second or third time. This conference seems to have done just that, so I […]
This is a General Conference Odyssey post. There were some powerful talks given in this Priesthood session of the April 1975 General Conference. But as often happens, when reading these talks, especially during the Priesthood sessions, I like to bring in the woman’s perspective. So, with that said, I am taking Marion G. Romney’s […]

Reading these old conference talks has been such a blessing in my life. They remind me to use my agency to receive His blessings. I hope to gain more courage, to hold onto my faith, and to always remember who I am. The gospel is the same. Some technicalities have been modified with time, but […]

She is one of the originators of Exponent II, a Boston-based organization/journal of Mormon Feminist thought. The name Exponent II came from a magazine […]
This is a General Conference Odyssey post: Have you ever watched a cat discover his tail? It’s as if he didn’t know it was there all along, so he pounces on it with uninhibited joy. I’ve watched our cat go around in circles chasing something that is always with him, yet somehow seems to escape […]
A General Conference Odyssey post The gospel of Jesus Christ is true. Because it is true, then it has the capacity to bring us back to worship at the feet of our Savior, and back into the presence of our Father. I just finished reading an interesting book about the Prodigal Son (The Return […]
