To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
In General Conference (Nov. 2010), Elder Larry R. Lawrence gave a talk on Courageous Parenting. I was so grateful for this talk, I practically underlined the whole thing. My husband and I admit we were blessed with good kids, but you know, even good kids can wander off into paths unknown. Where this isn’t the […]
From Hawaii: “We have been talking a lot in church about learning to live by faith and not fear. I am reminded of a tender mercy given to me from the Lord to assist me in learning this principle in my everyday life: I have been in the airline industry for almost nine years now. When […]
Across the street from the Beehive House, in Salt Lake City, at 70 E. South Temple, is a piece of land with a history that is far too delicious to forget. It’s all about a girl and her house. Harriet Amelia Folsom was 22 years old and freshly arrived in the Salt Lake Valley with […]
I heard someone ask this question: What has the Church done for women? I might rephrase that question, and ask, what have you, as a woman, done for the Church? Years ago, Belle Spafford asked this same question to Pres. George A. Smith; only she was asking what the National Council of Women […]
April 2010, at the BYU Women’s Conference, Julie B. Beck challenged us to read the Book of Mormon with a special intent. “I have a little exercise for those of you who want something specific to do in your scripture study. Get a new little copy of the Book of Mormon. In the front of […]
There are so many different ways to approach a lesson, both as teacher and as student, and not all ways bring the Spirit. It’s easy to just sit in a lesson and listen, but you may go home (after spending three hours at Church!), and not have anything to show for it. Likewise, a teacher […]

Born on December 23rd, 1805, Joseph Smith was born under “forgettable circumstances,” according to his mother. He grew up pretty ordinary […]
Minerva Bernetta Kohlhepp was born Aug. 28, 1888 in North Ogden, Utah, the second of ten children. Her mother’s father was one of Brigham Young’s bodyguards. Her father was disowned by his family when he joined the Church. Minerva was raised in a religious family, and an artistic home. Since age four, she thought of […]
My wife and I just recently dropped off our last child of six children, a son, to the Provo Utah Missionary Training Center (MTC). This is our fifth child (four sons and a daughter) to serve a full-time mission. Our oldest daughter didn’t serve a mission, but found her eternal companion at BYU and married […]
I found a great article with loads of good strategies for Relief Society presidents. Four women, on a panel, shared some of their experiences while serving. I happily share some of their great thoughts and suggestions. Maureen Ursenbach Beecher is one of our Mormon Women historians. She knew a lot about our early sisters, and […]
