Do you have a Gift of the Spirit?  Have you nurtured it, practiced it, used it for good?  Many gifts of the spirit are listed in the scriptures, but I would guess there are more to be considered. I will begin the list, but I would like to see us all add to this list.  […]

The Church is in need of Senior Missionaries.  Why aren’t more couples going out, do you suppose?  Fear is probably at the top of the list.  Women, who have never served a mission, might fear the unknown.  Maybe they wonder what service of value can they provide.  Can a single senior sister serve as well […]

When the Female Relief Society was first organized, there were nineteen members, plus officers; by the following March there were 1158 members attending.  They outgrew their meeting room and would meet in The Grove, where the spillage of sisters could still be included.  The Society became so popular that even unseemly women wanted to join.  […]

The war chapters, in Alma, are probably my favorite in all of scripture.  I have written in at the top of these chapters,  FOR THE STRENGTH OF YOUTH, because I feel this is where we get the best information on how to fight the adversary and save our children. Follow along in your own scriptures […]

For Pioneer Day, we visited the Kimball family plot where Heber Chase Kimball, Newel Kimball Whitney, and many of their family members are buried. I collected information about these two men from the Internet and we took turns reading about them. I was intrigued by the fact that Heber and his wives and children were […]

| Temple, Young Women

I was privileged to be invited to a Temple Shower years ago that literally changed my outlook on Temple Preparation. The woman giving the shower felt girls should be rewarded for their worthiness, and it was an expression of her personal love and support as each young girl entered the doors of the temple. I asked […]

Did you cringe when you read the title of this post?  This isn’t everyone’s favorite subject, I am well aware.  But I would like to tell you my feelings about Family History. Genealogy is one of the purposes for building the kingdom of God.  It is one of our charges to link those who are […]

| Womanhood

It’s clear why Relief Society has had to adapt over the years:  there’s a huge number of us now (5,000,000+); so many backgrounds, countries, cultures; projects are completed, goals met, new projects and goals must begin; society demands we pay attention to various issues that concern our family’s personal welfare.  One thing that always remains […]

Parents, the reality is that our children are being exposed DAILY to the temptations of evil.  We have to be aware in order to fight back.  I have a great blessing in my life; my husband has the gift of discernment.   He can tell when something is not right with our kids and he is […]
