To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
Last Mother’s Day, I invited Katie Covey Mangus to share the talk she gave at our Sacrament Meeting, because I thought it was brilliant, and asked if I could post it here on this site. You’ll see why for yourself as I have reposted it below for you to enjoy again. One short year later […]
I don’t have much to say about this month’s visiting teaching message. But I do have some questions. What did those Saints, in Nauvoo, know about the Lord that made receiving their endowment so important before crossing the Plains? Are we as anxious to go to the temple as those Saints were? When we go […]
Another general conference is over, so now what are we going to do? Pres. Monson’s final words to us were: Study the messages carefully. Be good citizens and good neighbors. Be tolerant, kind, and loving. Jesus has shown us how to act on a daily basis. Visit others. Rejoice! Let Jesus guide us. May our […]
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 […]

I am finishing up, teaching in my Book of Mormon class, the chapters of Alma in the Book of Mormon that focus on many of the great battles between the Lamanites and the Nephites. These principles can be applied to strategy and how we may personally make decisions in time of actual war. But maybe […]
In the movie, A Beautiful Mind, John Nash is a schizophrenic genius. He meets a woman who falls in love with him and they marry. She realizes that even though she loves him dearly, she is a 24-hour nanny to him and the pressure is overwhelming. Yet Alicia Nash is still able to say, “I […]
Don’t ever underestimate your work as a Visiting Teacher, or in this case a Relief Society Magazine representative. Before 1970, The Relief Society Magazine, when purchased for $1 per year, gave you membership into the Relief Society. Sisters were called to be representatives, and asked to get everyone to subscribe to the magazine. There was […]
“Ugh! You’re so stupid!” No, I’m not talking to you. I’m talking to myself. Actually, I used to talk to myself this way. All the time.
