To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
This is a General Conference Odyssey post for the April 2007 Saturday morning session of conference. I remember hearing Elder Holland give his talk entitled, “The Tongue of Angels.” It left me with a wary spirit, but beautiful hope. A Wary Spirit Because: It made me think about the first several meetings of the Relief […]
This is a General Conference Odyssey post for the Relief Society session of the October 2006 General Conference. Sometimes, it seems like, on Sundays, we talk about our General Conference talks without really discussing how to apply what they are really trying to teach us. Sometimes, when I listen to women in Relief Society talk […]
This is a General Conference Odyssey post for the Sunday afternoon session of the October 2006 General Conference. Over the years, I’ve helped several people organize and research their family history on FamilySearch. It takes a little bit of effort to input the living people in order to connect them to the deceased people in […]
This is a General Conference Odyssey post for the Sunday morning session of the October 2006 General Conference. I have been spending a little time studying the priesthood recently, and I am overwhelmed with all the new thoughts and understanding I’m gaining. Sadly, I have a terrible memory, so much of what I’m learning is […]
This is a General Conference Odyssey post for the October 2006 Priesthood session of General Conference. Rise Up, O Men of God! This is the clarion call to our fathers, brothers, sons, and all men. What does it mean to be a man, you may wonder. There are few public examples in the world […]
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 […]
We talk about Self-Reliance, but I wonder if there is more to it than we immediately think it is. L. Tom Perry gave a talk, in October 1991, about Self-Reliance where he says, “Independence and self-reliance are critical to our spiritual and temporal growth. Whenever we get into situations which threaten our self-reliance, we will […]
This week, I’m covering the Priesthood session of October 1991. I guess what I learned is in the form of an obvious question: Are we feeling the responsibility as we prepare for the Coming of the Lord? I believe we have been given all the tools necessary to be completely responsible, and fully accountable, for […]
This week, on my General Conference Odyssey, I’m covering the Saturday afternoon session of October 1991. This time, I’ve run across talks about repentance, the trial over the war in heaven, and keeping the Sabbath Day holy. I think my favorite quote is from Elder Neal A. Maxwell: “There is more individuality in those who […]
Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about the city of Enoch. We don’t know much about this city and how it came to be so righteous that it was lifted off of the earth. But it has been prophesied that a group of righteous Saints will become as righteous as those heavenward Saints and will […]
