To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
(This article has been written by Carolina Sagebin Allen and was originally posted here.) From a young age I felt in my bones I was part of a vast ocean of women who had something unique and valuable to offer the world. Instinctively, I felt that being a girl was something special because I knew […]
Home: “the social unit formed by a family living together; the focus of one’s domestic attention.”1 If you ask a friend how she’s doing, what is the likely answer? A tired “fine” may escape her lips, but since the question is meant as a quick greeting, you don’t necessarily delve in to discover problems or […]
Oh, no! Another post on Family History work! We Mormons have so much to do, how are we expected to do it all! I’ve been reading through the recent conference talks. By the way, I was complaining about how I wanted to read each talk, but never seemed to have time to do it. But […]
It’s a new year! That means it’s time to evaluate where we stand and continue challenging ourselves to move forward along the path toward exaltation. Can you believe how Satan is working overtime?

Now that summertime is here we have much more time to spend on our Family Home Evenings. Besides having all day, you don’t have to worry about homework and an early bedtime for school the next day. Start planning now for an all day Family Home Evening event at your house. Use this time to […]
I am a big believer in writing personal histories based on stories and experiences. Many lessons and testimonies have been born through a simple story. Let’s be honest, your grandchildren aren’t going to be interested in your detailed daily diary; not when we see journalism reports being cut shorter and shorter on the Internet. News […]
I was reading in my scriptures the other day in 2 Nephi, the dreaded Isaiah chapters. I actually love reading Isaiah’s words, because they are poetic, symbolic, and really beautiful when you read the parts of the glory of the Lord. On the other hand, realizing that he is speaking to us in our day, […]
Helen Mar Kimball Whitney wrote extensively about the early doings of the Church, in Nauvoo and Salt Lake City, during her youth. Because of her record, we have a clear picture of what it was like to live in that time period. She wrote of the Martyrdom, faithful women, and many miracles that took place, […]
