To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
Weather is not the reason why we wear clothing. It’s a good reason, but there is a better reason. We wear clothes to cover the body and not suggest alternate activities that can be done with the body (if you get my drift). By looking around, we can judge pretty quickly everyone by their clothing.

I already wrote once about Pres. Uchtdorf’s talk given in the General Women’s Meeting, but I feel to address it a second time. He talked about achieving happiness and he used two ways to get there: Creating and being Compassionate. I would like to dissect the “Creating” part of his talk. First of all he […]
When the Relief Society was reorganized in Salt Lake City, women needed a place to meet. Since there were, at first, so few of them, it was easy to gather together in each other’s homes. As the Society grew though, it was clear larger quarters would be necessary. Chapels, at that time, did not have […]
Do you remember the movie While You Were Sleeping? (Great movie!) It’s about a girl without a family, who adopts a family during the holidays, and ends up falling in love with one of the sons (the poor one, not the rich one). There is a scene where she is with the family while they […]
The Book of Helaman, in the Book of Mormon, is all about the human spirit waxing cold. Hardened hearts exposing one another, mankind breaking one another down, rampant domestic disputes. Kind of like our day. The Nephites, at this particular time, had a “heart condition.” When was the last time you had a check up […]
We live in a culture where we don’t have to go far to be entertained. Noise is everywhere. Everyone is busy. We are always going, going, going; off to our next bit of entertainment. We don’t have time to sit quietly. And if we did, we would be bored silly. Our minds have adapted well […]
If you had the opportunity to listen to the General Relief Society meeting, you were lucky to hear the words and direction of Pres. Dieter F. Uchtdorf. His message to us deserves to be noted and analyzed. I found it full of promising challenges. His first statement recalls our purpose and goal in life, “the […]
While reading Women’s Voices, by Kenneth and Audrey Godfrey and Jill Derr, I enjoyed reading the diaries of these great women. In particular, Ruth May Fox’s journal was especially noteworthy. Ruth May was born in England, in 1853. Already members of the Mormon Church, her mother died when Ruth was a toddler and she was […]
We are well aware that the principle of marriage is under attack. Infidelity, money problems, and just giving up too fast are the typical reasons for divorce. Let us beware, and not fall under Satan’s spell of unhappiness. Following are quotes from our prophets and apostles about the importance of maintaining a strong marriage bond. […]
We all know how difficult it is to get sisters out to activities…or meetings. People are as busy as they want to be, and it doesn’t matter what century you live in. I have read many Relief Society reports, from early on, that mention the lack of a solid attendance, so the problem has been […]
