To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
Many of you may remember how some of the early leaders of our Church were imprisoned because they were living the law of polygamy. In those days, Salt Lake City went as far south as 5th South, so they built the Utah Penitentiary way down to where Sugar House Park now rests, thinking that location […]
There are many paintings, sculptures, and depictions of Christ. Some are just beautiful, others not so much. I thought, as a celebration of Easter, I would share some of my favorites of our Savior, Jesus Christ. I really love how she depicts him here. A mixture of strength and tenderness. His […]
This is mother’s response to our son’s request. (Read here to read a father’s response.) Dear Son, So many women don’t understand the Plan of Heavenly Father. Isn’t it silly that they think they can call the shots and change doctrine? The order of the priesthood is not a guideline from the Handbook, it is […]
Our son was presented with a question about women and the priesthood and he came to us for clarification, so he could give her a better answer. This was his father’s reply. The next post will be his mother’s input. Dear Son, Petitioning the church to allow women to have the priesthood is a cause […]
Susa Young Gates was a formidable woman, and I look forward to the day I can visit and talk with her. She spoke strongly about the responsibility mothers have of teaching their children the gospel. Being the first editor of the Young Woman’s Journal, she was free to speak her mind on pretty […]
I am a big believer in writing personal histories based on stories and experiences. Many lessons and testimonies have been born through a simple story.

Which one of us has had a stone lobbed at us, for no apparent good reason, and our feathers became ruffled? Or perhaps we have spoken out of turn only to regret it minutes later? How many “if only” moments have we experienced because we forgot to listen to the calming voice of the Holy […]
These lessons are interesting as they are really teaching us how to be better visiting teachers to one another. I hope you are having special experiences as we practice what we learn, blessing the lives of all of us involved. I would like to share with you my experience with activation. I hope you can […]
This is a talk given by my friend, Donna Harbuck. She recently shared, in a Sacrament Meeting talk, some stories about the courageous women in her family background. I hope you enjoy these stories as much as I did. I start with my great-great grandmother Sarah Augusta Squires. Her family joined the church in England […]
I was reading in my scriptures the other day in 2 Nephi, the dreaded Isaiah chapters. I actually love reading Isaiah’s words, because they are poetic, symbolic, and really beautiful when you read the parts of the glory of the Lord. On the other hand, realizing that he is speaking to us in our day, […]
