To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
I felt this General Conference our leaders spoke to us a little differently than usual. Their messages were very specific to our day. They seemed to explain, in great detail, how being mortal doesn’t preclude morality and that a myopic view limits our view of immortality. Mortal—We were reminded for the first time in a […]
I love libraries and I love books. When I saw the title of Elder Boyd K. Packer’s talk for this week’s General Conference Odyssey, found in the April 1990 Priesthood session, I knew I had something to say. His talk, entitled, “The Library of the Lord,” reminds us of the importance of the scriptures. While […]
While growing up, no one seemed to be able to define the word integrity. The closest anyone got was, “It means being honest, but even more.” Something like that. In April 1990, Joseph B. Wirthlin gives a complete definition. “Always doing what is right and good, regardless of the immediate consequences. It means being righteous […]
General Conference Odyssey begins this week with April 1990. For someone as old as myself these talks feel as though they were given only yesterday. It doesn’t matter how long ago they were given though. Because they were given by Jesus Christ, through the mouth of His prophets, they will always be relevant. During this […]
Have we forgotten what a wonderful world we have to live in? Are we so caught up in ugly politics that we can’t see all that Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ have offered us? Sometimes, I wonder what our masks are hiding, or perhaps exposing in us? Speaking to the Young Women, during this 1989 […]
What has changed in your life because of the pandemic? Have you taken a step back from the world and reprioritized what is important in your life? Have you drawn closer to your loved ones? Are you more alert? More calm? More worried? Even though there is crisis, we can remain calm. Some have seen […]
I guess I’m on the right track with our General Conference Odyssey, because the Lord did it again. He lined things up in my life to fit the talks of this particular session: Sunday morning of October 1989. Gordon B. Hinckley spoke on “An Ensign to the Nations” where he retraces the first pioneers who […]
This week, for General Conference Odyssey, we are covering the October 1989 Priesthood session of conference. It matches up nicely with our reading of Captain Moroni, in the Book of Mormon, and our life today with the pandemic and such. I am referring to Elder Marvin J. Ashton’s talk entitled, “Stalwart and Brave We Stand.” […]
Everywhere I turn, I see a sign, a t-shirt, a meme, a news report that Black Lives Matter. Yes, everyone has the right to stand up and speak for themselves, and the Black community clearly has reached a point where they feel they have to speak out. Periodically, women have had their moment where they […]
We have recently been reminded whose church this is and what we should call it. This reminder was first given to us back in April 1990, before our prophet was the prophet. He spoke clearly and directly that this church is The Church of Jesus Christ. Back in 1990, then Elder Nelson explains in his […]
