The Secret Sauce is Pondering This is a General Conference Odyssey post for the Sunday afternoon session of the October 2008 General Conference. In The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, we are taught that the Holy Ghost is the true teacher. Because all of us will be called to a teaching position at […]
This is a General Conference Odyssey post for the October 2006, Saturday Afternoon session of conference. A while ago, I read an article by Elder David A. Bednar on how to study and teach conference talks. As usual, I thought his words were gold. So, I’m going to incorporate them in this (and maybe […]
I’ve had an influx of thoughts pointing to one main idea this weekend. Mother’s Day, of course, gets us thinking about mothers. This week’s General Conference Odyssey post covers the last session of April 1988, where two talks focus on mothering. And this week’s reading of Abinadi and King Noah finds me thinking about their […]
The world we live in today is robbing us of our hope. Satan is the master of discouragement, insecurity, and self-loathing. In October 1986, the General Women’s Meeting focused on hope and four really important talks were given. Have you ever seen the movie, The Unsinkable Molly Brown? Early in the movie, she states […]
In the October 1986 Priesthood session of General Conference, President Ezra Taft Benson gave a talk on the “Godly Characteristics of the Master.” What a powerful talk!

I graduated from college two years ago. Yes, I know, I’m old and I thought it was too late. But, I did it! Anyway, one of my classes was on rhetorical writing. It had prerequisites that I hadn’t taken, and I was completely stumped on how to fulfill the required paper I had to write. […]
The first talk to open up the April 1984 General Conference was given by President Ezra Taft Benson, president of the Quorum of the Twelve at the time. His Counsel to the Saints is simple and straightforward. Sadly, it is necessary counsel for our day as well. “First, We Need to Strengthen Families.” Pres. […]
The Church is changing, and with it, so must we. Because we are now focusing on being home-centered, all of us are teachers and facilitators. Teachers are always going to be needed in our church lessons, but their role is being enlarged, as a facilitator, by including the entire class in the role as the […]
I was reading about Noah and rainbows the other day and saw the phrase perpetual generations. I wondered what it meant, so I went on a journey of discovery. Rainbows mean something different today.
