To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
Another great conference address; this one about life, and living, with simple purpose. A few years ago, my husband and I served together in a small branch at a care center. Mostly, there were elderly women who had lost husbands, and even children. They weren’t terribly happy to still be among the living, in fact, […]
This Howard W. Hunter lesson is an important one and it struck me deeply. The question that I had to ask myself was, “Do I really believe?” Do I really believe that God loves me, watches over me, cares about me, or even wants me? Do I really believe Jesus Christ when He […]
Several years ago, I discovered an article (and wrote a post about it here) about a group of teenagers wanting to organize themselves into a Latter-day army of righteousness. This group of youth was mentioned in Marion D. Hanks’ Priesthood session address in Oct. 1971. I enjoyed recalling my feelings in discovering these young people and […]
I am very, very grateful that I don’t have to become perfect in all things. I was sent down onto this imperfect world, as an imperfect being, to work out my imperfectness imperfectly. Yet, I still manage to beat myself up. Why do I keep going around in circles? Why can’t I figure it all out? […]
General Conference Odyssey post: Saturday morning session, October 1971 The session spoke of standing in the light. It’s impossible to justify away these words from our living prophets, spoken to us almost 45 years ago. Can I just express my gratitude in their divine fore-warnings? We are foolish not to listen more carefully today. Harold B. Lee […]
It seems that more and more often, we’ll hear people complain about the adversity around them. “Why is life so hard?” “Why did that have to happen?” “Why is there so much suffering in the world?” “Why me?” “Why isn’t it fair?” We need to remember that adversity is an important component of the Plan […]
I’ve joined a group of bloggers who are going to take the next several years to read all the General Conference addresses that are available to us online, starting in 1971. It’s called The General Conference Odyssey. My goal is to read all the talks of the assigned session and share my thoughts on one […]
Pornography is insidious. It is life-threatening. It destroys everything in its wake. It is Satan’s grasping desperation to stop Heavenly Father’s Plan from succeeding. But enough about this awful plague that we all must deal with. I would rather talk about the ways to shield and withstand its ugly onslaught. After attending a meeting on […]
I might have to come back to this lesson regularly to review what I’ve learned about peace. We live in a world that makes a special point to remove peace from our lives, so I must consciously seek to bring it back. We live in a fast-paced, violent-loving, action-packed environment and often brag about how […]
While serving as a docent, at the Church History Museum, we used to say that the Museum was the best-kept secret in Salt Lake City. I always enjoyed sharing the stories of our Church History. The Church History Museum has been closed all of this past year redesigning the entire main floor and I […]
