To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
I’m a little slow, but I finally sat down and listened to some of the BYU Women’s Conference talks. They are now available on BYUtv. I enjoyed listening to the new Young Women Presidency. They were fun and told us a little about themselves. After reflecting a minute, and going over my notes, I correlated […]
There is nothing I like more than talking about the power given to women in the LDS church. And we just don’t talk about it enough. Instead of being intimidated by women who complain and demand some special privilege or other, where are the women with eyes to see? Those are the ones that build […]
I was just reading through Sharon Eubank’s conference address, “Turn On Your Light,” and the message I got from her, loud and clear, was that we have been called on a mission. Are we righteous enough to accept the call? Are we articulate enough in our faith, knowledge, and ability to share? Will our light […]
This is a General Conference Odyssey post. Another timely reading of a General Conference talk as I hear about Oprah Winfrey’s “rousing Golden Globes speech,” where she condemned the sexual abuse of women. I have to agree with everything she said, but there is one incredibly important omission from her that is a fundamental principle from our […]
Boyd K. Packer cared about the women of the church. He gave two talks about the Relief Society and another one on keeping the elderly active in the church. I wrote about these talks in three different posts quite a while ago: “Boyd K. Packer’s Take on the Relief Society” “More From President Packer” “Again–President […]
This is a General Conference Odyssey post. This week we are reporting on the Priesthood session of the April 1978 General Conference. President N. Eldon Tanner spoke to the men on being “Worthy of Proper Recommendation.” He said a few interesting things that got me thinking: can men control themselves? In the news, recently, we’ve […]
I hope you were filled, like I was, after hearing the Women’s Conference last night. Sis. Eubank brought up, again, that quote from Pres. Kimball telling us of the influence we, as the Relief Society sisters, can have on the world. The fact that this prophecy is being referred to so many times tells […]
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. […]
This is a General Conference Odyssey post. There were some powerful talks given in this Priesthood session of the April 1975 General Conference. But as often happens, when reading these talks, especially during the Priesthood sessions, I like to bring in the woman’s perspective. So, with that said, I am taking Marion G. Romney’s […]
This is a General Conference Odyssey post for October 1973, Priesthood session. Although this session was intended for the men who are holders of the priesthood, I wish to convert it to the women, who have priesthood power they may not realize. As women, we have absolute power, from heaven, in order to fulfill the […]
