To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
The promise in Malachi that “he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers”, is coming true in our time, and not only among members of the Church. NBC’s “Who Do You Think You Are?”, PBS’s “Finding You Roots”, and BYU TV’s “The Generations Project” are at […]
Pornography is one of those topics no one wants to deal with until it becomes personal. I said until, not unless. I wanted to share a post that Stephanie, at Diapers and Divinity, wrote that really struck a cord with me. In her words, “Since I can’t actually punch Satan in the face, even though I […]
Do you truly believe you are Guardians of the Hearth? Do you take that role seriously, and seek to establish, nurture, and defend the family from this position? The world would have you scoff at that notion. It would convince you that “men and women have been socialized to perform certain gender specific roles”. It […]
I half-heartedly apologize for this rambling post. At the beginning of the year, I set a goal to read the New Testament, along with Sunday School class. I have never done this before, so I was determined to prove myself capable of follow-through. As I read, I have been writing my thoughts in a notebook […]
The men, and particularly our young men, got a scolding during the Priesthood session by Elder Holland. He did it with love, with tears, and with genuine concern for their personal welfare, but nevertheless, the message was firm. Our boys have been called into action. But because this is a site for women, I am […]
The October Ensign is a special issue emphasizing the Book of Mormon. Once again, it appears our leaders are trying to get us to think how best to rescue our families and loved ones in these very trying times. So many answers lie within the pages of this marvelous work and wonder. If we aren’t […]
I had the most wonderful experience learning about The Rift, a piece of history of which I was not aware. I attended the Sons of the Utah Pioneer Convention (2011) and met with some great Mormon heritage: Gracia N. Jones, and Michael and Darcy Kennedy (from the Smith family), and Mary Ellen Elggren (from the […]
The Book of Mormon is full of examples of faithful women, who stood strong in spite of opposing voices around them. Can you imagine Sariah’s fear when men sought her husband’s life? And how he told her that they needed to leave all of their luxuries behind and travel to the sea, cross the sea […]
I really love running into articles, written years ago, that echo what we need to hear today. Nothing has changed, yet everything has changed. No guilt trip intended; just think about it… THE PRESENT-DAY NEED FOR TRAINING OUR DAUGHTERS IN HOMEMAKING SKILLS “No matter what other interests a girl has in life, what line of […]
This is a comment I received that offers some interesting food to digest. What do you think? “From Sis. Beck’s “Mothers Who Know” 2007 talk: “Mothers who know do less. They permit less of what will not bear good fruit eternally. They allow less media in their homes, less distraction, less activity that draws their […]
