To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
This is a post on the Priesthood session of April 1981. President Marion G. Romney talks about the covenants we make as members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Sometimes, I find myself sitting in a church class discussing doctrine as if it’s something we have to still figure out or work […]
General Conference Odyssey post for April 1981 Saturday afternoon session. In this session, (then Elder) Hinckley speaks on The Joseph Smith III Document and the Keys of the Kingdom. This alone is an interesting title for his talk, demonstrating a nothing-to-fear attitude. First, let me review what this document is about. A few months earlier, […]
This General Conference Odyssey post is for the Sunday afternoon session of October 1980. President Kimball closes this conference with a review of expectations.

This week, General Conference Odyssey covers the Sunday morning session of April 1980.

A lot of us struggle with finding time to read our scriptures. And when we finally get to it, it’s often to […]
I thought this most recent (Oct 2017) General Conference was particularly wonderful. I felt the power of the words spoken, that indeed, the Lord is directing His church and I received personal answers, showing ways I can improve. Conference is meant to do just that: To be messages from God through His ordained leaders and […]
This lesson is about as straightforward and simple as lessons come. Simply put, follow President Hinckley’s promise of the Book of Mormon found at the end of the lesson: “Brothers and sisters, without reservation I promise you that if you will prayerfully read the Book of Mormon, regardless of how many times you previously […]
This is a General Conference Odyssey post for the Saturday morning session of October 1975 General Conference. This month, covenant women of the church will celebrate the birthday of the Relief Society. With this in mind, I have captured the thoughts of two conference talks in this particular session: Covenants and Blessings, by William H. […]
