To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
Heavenly Father’s gift of agency, freedom of choice, is an eternal principle. It is what the war in heaven was all about. Occasionally, I find myself wishing my children didn’t have as much agency as we have all been blessed with. Benson: Agency is “the ability to make important decisions that will have bearing […]
While my mind is on preparedness these days, I thought I would share a couple of random thoughts about how to gather a usable food storage. The way to store food storage, and use it, is as unique as the individual doing it, which is a good thing, but sometimes it helps to see […]
An unprecedented use of social media was addressed by The LDS Church calling a news conference on religious freedom. We learned very clearly that although people think differently, there must still be a way to live in relative harmony with one another by allowing freedom of religion and choice that does not interfere with one […]
When was the last time you set a goal and actually achieved it? Why did you set the goal in the first place? Do we sometimes get caught up in the moment and wish for the end before the beginning even starts? Goals can be like that sometimes. Let’s make this year different. I […]
Prayer is our greatest tool to form a relationship, and discover the will of our Heavenly Father, but I’m not sure we use it as the tool that it can be. At least, I know I don’t. Too many times I find myself asking for things over and over again, or worse, repeating mindlessly the […]
This year, there are three things I hope to focus on as I study each of the lessons based on President Ezra Taft Benson’s talks: What is the doctrine being taught? What does the prophet mean for us to obey? How do we live these teachings as women, wives, and mothers in the gospel? […]
Many years ago, our young family took a vacation to Disneyland in the fall. The weather was perfect, if not a little warm, and we basked in the golden sunset. But once the sun went down …. Wow! Did it get cold as we stayed to watch the big fireworks show. We were caught unprepared! I […]
It was another rousing and successful General Conference. My cup was filled and I was re-fortified to continue working toward salvation with the ever-loving aid of my Savior Jesus Christ. Question: Did anyone hear anything that may have alluded to “Preparedness” during this conference? Answer: I did. What is preparedness, but preparing us for […]
Sister Linda K. Burton spoke, at the General Women’s Meeting, on being spiritually prepared to receive temple blessings. Mentioning the story of the Nephites and how they were “prepared…in a manner which never had been known” (Alma 49:8), what does that mean for us? Have we been properly prepared to enter the temple, or […]
I just had the great opportunity to see Meet the Mormons with several LDS bloggers, hosted by the Public Affairs department of the LDS Church. Some of the actors were there, so we got to hear a little more of their stories. Now, let’s talk about being real. This movie is great! Do you see […]
