To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
I thought this most recent (Oct 2017) General Conference was particularly wonderful. I felt the power of the words spoken, that indeed, the Lord is directing His church and I received personal answers, showing ways I can improve. Conference is meant to do just that: To be messages from God through His ordained leaders and […]
I hope you were filled, like I was, after hearing the Women’s Conference last night. Sis. Eubank brought up, again, that quote from Pres. Kimball telling us of the influence we, as the Relief Society sisters, can have on the world. The fact that this prophecy is being referred to so many times tells […]
Visiting Teaching Message The world would say they are fighting for this very idea–to be of one heart, but somehow they think they can achieve it without Jesus Christ, and that would be impossible. Along with this idea, everyone demands that race, gender, and ideology be fairly treated, even specially treated to the point that everyone […]
Face it, we all like to see that others are imperfect. Yeah, we all do it! Somehow, it makes us all accept our humanness and puts us all on the same playing field. Listening to the new Relief Society Presidency (speaking at the BYU Women’s Conference), I can see just how human–and like me–they are. […]
A General Conference Odyssey post for the October 1975 Priesthood session of General Conference. I have a friend who at one time felt very weak in the gospel. Her parents, her husband, and her children weren’t active. She alone came to church, mostly because she had friends there. We had many conversations together and one […]
This is a General Conference Odyssey post for the Saturday morning session of October 1975 General Conference. This month, covenant women of the church will celebrate the birthday of the Relief Society. With this in mind, I have captured the thoughts of two conference talks in this particular session: Covenants and Blessings, by William H. […]
This is a General Conference Odyssey post. Jesus Christ came to earth with a message of hope and salvation. The Church is here to share that message. As members of the Church, we must be the people to match our message. During the Saturday afternoon session, of the April 1975 General Conference, […]
April 1974 Friday morning session I loved listening to the Women’s session of conference the other night because they spoke with such boldness. Our leaders are speaking to us boldly, more and more, it seems, well … so I thought. I’m learning, as I read earlier conference addresses, that our leaders have always spoken boldly to […]
One simple sentence can summarize this week’s General Conference Odyssey session (Sunday Morning, April 1973): Man(kind) is destined for glory when we covenant (with our right hands), obey the prophet, and lead our families to the Promised Land. Having just watched the Republican Party Convention (and don’t worry, I’m not going to get political) […]
This week, my General Conference Odyssey report focuses on marriage and family with Elder A. Theodore Tuttle’s talk, Altar, Tent, Well. Bear with me as I retell the story of Isaac and Rebecca, and their love story. Abraham (who was the “father of the faithful”) and Israel (who was the father of the twelve […]
