To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
Three things caught my attention this week in the Saturday morning session of April 1973 General Conference: Henry D. Taylor, his talk on the Sacrament, and a renewal on my part. The day after my husband and I got married, in Salt Lake City, we were looking for a place we could attend church and […]
When I first started writing for the General Conference Odyssey, I thought it would be interesting to read through past talks, perhaps share a few thoughts and insights, but I never realized the process would invoke so much spiritual manifestation in me. This particular session, Sunday morning, April 1972, just may be my favorite session […]
Happy Easter, everyone!! As usual, the Easter Bunny is an alternate figure the world places at the forefront of our holiday celebrating, but how perfect to be able to discuss the Atonement and Resurrection as we celebrate probably the most glorious and special holidays honored in the year. The Pinnacle of the Plan Our […]
Another great conference address; this one about life, and living, with simple purpose. A few years ago, my husband and I served together in a small branch at a care center. Mostly, there were elderly women who had lost husbands, and even children. They weren’t terribly happy to still be among the living, in fact, […]
This Howard W. Hunter lesson is an important one and it struck me deeply. The question that I had to ask myself was, “Do I really believe?” Do I really believe that God loves me, watches over me, cares about me, or even wants me? Do I really believe Jesus Christ when He […]
I decided that I wanted to study the gospel more in depth this year. I will thoroughly enjoy reading the Book of Mormon again, in its entirety, but I also wanted to add gospel topic study, so this year I am going to take the Relief Society lessons and study them in depth. These […]
Five talks, during the October 2014 General Conference, were given that specifically stated we must keep our eyes on the living prophet. We have to ask why that message was given to us over and over again that weekend and in this lesson–and always. I believe the answer is that by listening and obeying the prophet, […]
For me, conference was amazing. It hasn’t always been like this. There were times I would go to sleep during the talks, and worse, never read them in the Ensign. That story Pres. Uchtdorf told about the guy who asked his Mormon friend what the prophet had recently said, and the Mormon friend had no […]
Regret is a very depressing word. We all experience it. It comes from mistakes that we have made, but aren’t quite ready to own up to. Regret comes from not forgiving ourselves. It comes, and is relentless, as we attempt to change, but fall victim to our own impatience and feelings of unworthiness. Regret takes […]
I hope every woman who reads and studies this lesson takes the time to personally go through the scriptures that teach us about Jesus Christ. Please read the actual words that talk of Christ, rejoice in Christ, preach of Christ, and prophesy of Christ (2 Ne 25:26) that wait for you in the Book of […]
