To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
Something that always keeps me going, and eager to start a new year, is the opportunity to set new goals…fun and exciting (for me) goals. It also helps that I actually completed the goals I set this past year, so I am raring to go for 2013. Waiting for things to happen in […]
While driving through the mountains on a crisp beautiful autumn day, I viewed the splash of brilliant colors in all their beauty. While not quite as magnificent as an east coast display with its giant purple red maple leaves mixed among the yellow, orange, and rich browns that make up a true autumn spectacular, […]
General Conference is always highly anticipated at our house. There is always speculation to guess what some of the main themes will be. Will there be any new announcements, releasings, or sustainings? There is always something to look forward to when we listen for the most recent guidance, prophecy, and testimony of our prophet and […]
Belle Spafford was president of the Relief Society for twenty years. The Church went through much growth and change during her presidency. It’s too bad most of the sisters in our Relief Society don’t know this vibrant, loveable, and intelligent woman. Read her bio here for a little background on her. Here are a […]

I’m going through the Book of Mormon at a slower pace than the Sunday School Class. I just got a new set of scriptures and I am working my way through, underlining my favorite passages and adding my personal notes as I go. Can I just quickly testify to you that the words of this […]
Lessons about the scriptures are difficult lessons to teach. Typically teaching ABOUT something is less effective than actually SHOWING or even DOING it. So, I hope this post will inspire you to discover something new that will make you want to read the scriptures for yourself, to discover the wonderful treasure that the word of […]
This Easter season, I have found myself thinking a lot about my great-grandmother Opal and grandmother Dixie, both who have past away in the last couple of years. With these women in mind, John 11:25-26 has meant more to me. I am the Resurrection and the Life; he that believeth in me, though he were […]
I have a friend, Ann, who broke both her legs right before Christmas. Now, to most of us, this would be a disaster in the proportions of the apocalypse. Her Christmas decorations were only half up, her shopping wasn’t done, and she was dismayed at being useless for at least two months. Her example of […]
