To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
In the Book of Mormon, at the Waters of Mormon where Alma the prophet baptizes those that he was teaching in the wilderness, Alma rehearses the covenant we all make with the Lord when we are baptized. Starting in Mosiah 18:8 we learn how we are willing to bear one another’s burdens that they may […]
I love finding these articles that give you a snapshot of what it was like “way back when”. Enjoy this article from the Relief Society Magazine in Mar 1939. “According to one of our great modern thinkers, we Americans have experienced “seven adventures in pioneering”: first, for spiritual freedom—the right to worship God as conscience […]
We’ve had a little time to digest the new Handbook. All of us can look at it, because it’s online at www.lds.org. I think it’s significant that it’s available to all of us. We are all expected to be active members of this Church. Understanding “The Church Plan” allows all of us to get involved […]
Most of us forget that, back in Old Testament times, if caught defiling the Sabbath Day, you were put to death. Clearly, they didn’t play around back then (pun intended). In February of 1847, the Prophet Joseph Smith appeared to Brigham Young in a dream. The message given was, “Tell the people to be humble […]
I haven’t needed to go out prom dress hunting much, so going out these past couple of days has been an eye opener. Living in Utah, I guess I had some assumptions that have now been cleared up and I am here to report both good and bad news. The bad news is that the […]
There is a deeper understanding we can gain from the Visiting Teaching message this month. I have broken it up into three parts: Under the Priesthood, After the Pattern of the Priesthood, and Personal Revelation. After the Pattern of the Priesthood LDS women, who want the Priesthood and think they should have the Priesthood, don’t […]
Many of you may remember Neal A. Maxwell, of the Quorum of the Twelve. This man knew the English language better than most, and his usage of words was truly phenomenal. The images and thoughts, created from his well-chosen words, typically cause us to think at a higher level. Two talks, given by him, made […]
I have often wondered why the Relief Society has changed our meeting system, suggesting our meetings be less frequent, less structured, and less demanding. For the past several years I have seen wards either have too many “fun” activities to keep an imaginary quota, or drop all activities, because they don’t know what they want […]
Abraham is promised that if he and his wife will keep the covenant they make with the Lord, and marry under the Everlasting Covenant of Marriage, they will have seed or posterity like the sand on the seashore and like the stars in the heavens. This promise of endless posterity is symbolically represented on the […]
I’m going to depart from my normal post format and talk about life—my (new) viewpoint of life, that is. Okay, I admit, this is another pep talk to myself, made public this time. I just saw Julie & Julia and I have some serious deep thoughts about it. Now what in the world does this […]
