To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
I’m home from my mission. I’ve caught up with three new grandchildren, and have been getting to know all (15!!) of them all over again. I’m working in the temple, which is incredibly satisfying. And, now, I think I’m ready to get back to this website. I started this blog in 2008. My objective […]
When President Nelson requested that we discontinue the use of “LDS” as a label of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, my original site LDS Women of God was immediately changed to Latter-day Saint Women of God. As predicted, my SEO suffered. I realized I was not loving how long my website name […]
I’ve been invited to write for a new online forum called Real Intent, where LDS writers share a journey of discovery through the experimentation of faith. While I’m still mostly interested in Relief Society, my work will occasionally appear on this larger platform as well. Please come and see what we’re doing. We are creating a place of […]
We’ve been reminded often, by the Brethren, the importance of being grateful every day. Well, here it is—November—so it’s time to start thinking about it, right? I know, it’s just not easy to think of blessings when so many things are going on in our lives, both good and bad, but always overwhelming. I don’t […]
There is nothing like being bombarded, from all angles, with a message. The first thing was a reminder that this month’s Visiting Teaching message should come out of the Conference Addresses. That is always difficult for me to do; I sometimes pick several and combine their message, or pick a different one for each sister, […]
Maybe some of you are already reading Pres. Monson’s biography. I’m crossing my fingers for Christmas. I had the opportunity to hear Sis. Swinton share some stories and lessons she learned during this incredible journey she has been blessed to take. In order to understand this man, she read forty-seven years worth of Conference talks […]
What did it really mean when Joseph Smith turned the key to the women in the Relief Society? It was quite a profound statement when you think of the period of time they lived in. In the 1850’s, married women had even fewer rights than single women. In some states “married women, insane persons, and […]
One individual can make a difference in life. Sometimes it’s because of a calling; more often than not it’s through inspiration, i.e., being at the right place at the right time. So many women have made their mark in this world, but this time I’m going to talk about a man. Wilford C. Wood was […]
I’m not into politics, but I think I’m going to have to bone up. We can’t help but hear (and worry) about what’s going on in our country. As I recall from history lessons, this country was set up to be governed by the voice of the people. But it is my opinion there are […]
We are taught to pray over all things. If there is something we want to change about ourselves, we must pray about it. If there is something we must overcome, we are urged to discuss it with the Lord. We might want to be more patient, more sensitive, more spiritual, less extravagant, less negative, less […]
