To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
This past week I had the privilege of seeing “… the rest of the story” as Paul Harvey used to say. Several years ago, I served as the Relief Society president over a branch at a small care facility. As I began attending Sacrament Meetings there I got to know many of the residents, both […]
I’m probably the only one who has this problem. I confess, my mind wanders when I take the Sacrament. I have a pretty good understanding of the gospel of Jesus Christ, and I certainly love, honor, and obey Him as best I can, but I simply must try harder. I’m still reading The Infinite Atonement […]
The Church announced that this year all women, from eight years of age and up, would meet together for both spring and fall Women’s meetings. I’m so glad of this change! This should have been done a long time ago, so I’m happy it’s finally happened. So, why did they decide to include the eight […]
It’s a new year! That means it’s time to evaluate where we stand and continue challenging ourselves to move forward along the path toward exaltation. Can you believe how Satan is working overtime?

Christmas is definitely a time of present shopping, hustle and bustle, concerts, and numerous other unexpected and compounding activities.

I have a personal witness that both men and women have an assigned placement in God’s Kingdom. He laid everything out quite nicely in The Proclamation […]
Mormon women have a purpose on this earth. Heavenly Father has designed us to be wives, mothers, then women. Some women would have us believe Heavenly Father has it backward. The prophets foretold a long time ago that marriage would be under fire; that children would be in danger if left to their own devices; […]
Joseph Smith gathered the Mormon Women together telling them they had a great destiny to fulfill. The women were eager to gather together, help the poor, and enjoy temple blessings. When the Relief Society was first organized, there were nineteen members, plus officers. By the following March, there were 1158 members attending. They outgrew their […]
I have been reading The Infinite Atonement by Tad Callister and have had a wonderful time looking up each scripture he uses to solidify the points he is making about Jesus Christ and His atoning sacrifice. I often get carried away and decide to read the entire chapter to grasp the whole concept, and that […]
