To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
During this last session of the April 1985 General Conference, Elders Oaks and Maxwell spoke of the idea of willing to give up all. How willing are each of us to give up all and come unto the Lord? I believe this is the most important question to ask ourselves as inhabitants of the earth. […]
I just realized that I passed right over October 1978’s conference when it was ratified that all worthy men can receive the priesthood—and I apologize. This was a big moment in our history and it was displayed beautifully this past week in the Be One celebration at the Conference Center. If you missed it, you […]
This is a General Conference Odyssey post. James E. Faust spoke on “The Refiner’s Fire.” It made me think of two words that seem to have lost their meanings: sacrifice and tolerance.

I’ve joined a group of bloggers who are going to take the next several years to read all the General Conference addresses that are available to us online, starting in 1971. It’s called The General Conference Odyssey. My goal is to read all the talks of the assigned session and share my thoughts on one […]
I watched a storm roll across the sky once. It was magnificent and fierce; it’s black belly churning in its fury. Then suddenly a pinpoint of light pierced the tempest.
