To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
Several years have gone by since I’ve sat in the Conference Center to listen to General Conference live, so my husband and I decided to go and sit among saints, alive with faithful energy. We were surrounded by excited members, first-time attendees, people who wanted to be there and were eager to write their impressions […]
April 1974 Friday morning session I loved listening to the Women’s session of conference the other night because they spoke with such boldness. Our leaders are speaking to us boldly, more and more, it seems, well … so I thought. I’m learning, as I read earlier conference addresses, that our leaders have always spoken boldly to […]
This week we are reading the talks given in the last session of the October 1973 General Conference. As usual, the words have all been powerful, motivating, edifying, and true. What a blessing it is, in my life today (and can be in your life as well), to read through these talks which fortify my […]
I was greatly edified by the talks in this session of conference (Sunday morning, Oct. 1973). Seriously! These talks are still applicable to our day. The messages given were true then as they are true now. Truth is eternal, but choosing sides is now. It’s an ongoing battle to choose over and over again. I’ll […]
I’ve talked a lot, in the past, about how women, in the Church, have power. This power comes from the priesthood and is available to every man and woman who calls upon God to better their lives and the lives around them. The Lord is depending on us to use His power. This priesthood power […]
This is a General Conference Odyssey post for October 1973, Priesthood session. Although this session was intended for the men who are holders of the priesthood, I wish to convert it to the women, who have priesthood power they may not realize. As women, we have absolute power, from heaven, in order to fulfill the […]
In the Saturday afternoon session of General Conference (Oct 1973), Ezra Taft Benson gave us a very direct talk on being prepared in the “last days.” Reading it, just now, has given me a new, improved reason to “watch and be sober” (1 Thess. 5:6). When he spoke on being prepared he specified three […]
With three talks bearing witness of Jesus Christ, this week, how can I pass up an opportunity to proclaim how wonderful His atoning sacrifice is to me. I stand all amazed at the love Jesus offers me, Confused at the grace that so fully he proffers me. I tremble to know that for me […]
As the closing strains of “As I Have Loved You, Love One Another…” faded in the air, I wrote down my final thoughts from the messages shared at stake conference this past weekend. The message was clear: Brethren, love your wives. Sisters, love your husbands. Show your love more, use the priesthood in your homes, […]
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will always, and forever, talk about the importance of righteous influence in our homes. Every talk, given in this October 1973 session of conference, can be tied to how we must conduct ourselves IN our families, as well as OUT in the world because of the expected […]
