To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
The other night my wife received a phone call from a sister from the ward who was asking if I was available to give her friend a priesthood blessing. I was available and quickly called another brother in our ward to assist. If I have time, I try to change my clothes into my Sunday […]
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 […]
(From October 2011 Priesthood session of General Conference.) I have always felt a little jealous of the talks the men receive during the Priesthood session of conference. Their talks always seem to be more specific, more demanding, and more “important” somehow. I now have a different view that I will share with you. First of […]
Ephesians has always been my favorite book in the New Testament. It must be the armor thing. That was always a great lesson in Seminary, FHE, Primary, even Gospel Doctrine. There’s just something about being warriors for Christ. As I have grown in understanding of the gospel, I have learned to love Ephesians even more. […]
In Pres. Monson’s parting address at the close of the April 2011 General Conference, he said, “As we receive the issues of the Ensign and Liahona magazines which will contain these messages in written form, may we read and study them.” For several years now, I have read the talks, underlined key points, and promptly […]
I continually share my testimony of how we, as the women in the church, work with the men, to bring to pass the blessings of the priesthood. Too many of us still think that the men ARE the priesthood, which is not doctrine. The men are caretakers of the priesthood. Through this gift, they are […]
Who says we can’t have anymore ward activities? Not the handbook. It’s possible the activities chairman was falling into the trap of hosting too many parties and our leaders would like us to be a little more purposeful at our gatherings. In ward council, the leaders in the ward can brainstorm ideas to get various […]
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 […]
Our Visiting Teaching message for March continues in our education about Relief Society history. I’m thrilled that this is the topic of discussion. 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, […]
Eliza traveled all over the Territory, that is now Utah, to teach the Bishops and organize the women into Relief Societies. Before she set out, she wrote an article for the Deseret News, on April 22, 1868, laying out the responsibilities and privileges of the Relief Society. The article contains some interesting points I find […]
