To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
This is such a great idea. Thanks for sending this in!! “A few weeks ago my third daughter turned 10, and I began preparing for our Mother/Daughter Birthday Date, which has become a “Coming of Age” tradition in our home. This tradition began when my first daughter turned 10. She was in 4th grade, and […]
Over the years, Church history scholars have written papers, articles, and books about the great pioneers who have carved our latter-day legacy. I enjoy randomly coming upon recorded remembrances that have miraculously survived, been researched, and made available to us so we can continue along our own paths of enduring faith. It is sad, but […]
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 […]
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 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 […]
In General Conference (Nov. 2010), Elder Larry R. Lawrence gave a talk on Courageous Parenting. I was so grateful for this talk, I practically underlined the whole thing. My husband and I admit we were blessed with good kids, but you know, even good kids can wander off into paths unknown. Where this isn’t the […]
My wife and I just recently dropped off our last child of six children, a son, to the Provo Utah Missionary Training Center (MTC). This is our fifth child (four sons and a daughter) to serve a full-time mission. Our oldest daughter didn’t serve a mission, but found her eternal companion at BYU and married […]
We took an interesting trip during a recent Relief Society lesson. A member of the presidency was teaching about how to make our homes like the temple. The very first aspect introduced was cleanliness. It went around the room for a while that it was SOOOO important to have a clean house. It was stated […]
The prophets foretold a long time ago that marriage would be under fire; that children would be in danger if left to their own devices; and that temptation would pull women out of their duty. We are seeing this more and more as the years get full to overflowing with technological shortcuts that make homemaking […]
It’s really hard to watch the news these days and hear once again that a family has been destroyed by selfishness and lack of self-control. All of our families are at risk. We need to help one another stay committed to our husbands and our children. The world cannot offer us enough to forsake them […]
