To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
After hearing Sis. Joy D. Jones’ and Sis. Jean B. Bingham’s talks, I heard, unmistakably, specific challenges for all of us women. We were challenged to take a stand in the cause for Christ and to unify with our brethren. What does that mean? What must we do to meet the challenge? First of all, […]
It’s finally out!! My book, A Relief Society That Brings Women to Christ, is now available at Amazon. Order my new book here. There are a lot of books being published answering questions about women and the Priesthood. I admit, originally that was my question too. But, over the years, as I’ve studied what the […]
As I’ve been reading through the talks from our recent General Conference, I felt inspired to read through the Relief Society Declaration and compare it with the Young Women Theme. Even though they are different organizations, the RS and YW are strikingly similar in purpose and destiny. The Relief Society Declaration was first given to […]
Occasionally, I’ll dig up an old Relief Society Magazine. While reading an article about a speech given by Belle Spafford (9th Relief Society General President), this thought ran through my head: Why talk of failure and excuses when we can talk of victory? I quote from her talk: “When I was a little girl, we […]
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints asks a lot of its members. I made a list just to see how overwhelmed I can feel. Daily and Family Prayer Family Home Evening Personal and Family Scripture Reading Family Council Financial and Debt Management Provident Living Tithing and “a generous” Fast Offering Food Storage Emergency […]
The underground train, in London, is much narrower than the tunnel it travels through, so much so, there is a gap as you step from train to platform. Signs and announcers remind you constantly to beware of getting caught in the gap. As I saw the signs and heard the announcements, I remembered a talk […]
Women need women. It’s a fact of life. So, when Priesthood meeting addresses talk about their brotherhood and having a place to belong, I immediately look at our Relief Society. Do we feel that sisterhood? That feeling of belonging? Elder Stevenson talked about creating a playbook that keeps you on the strait and narrow path. […]
Just think, Relief Society class will be held only two times each month. Is that a good thing, or a bad thing? Hopefully, you have read enough on my website to see that this isn’t a good or bad thing, but in order to obey our prophet and help him gather Israel, Relief Society leaders […]
I occasionally read through the Female Relief Society of Nauvoo Minute Book (I’m weird like that). It’s pretty inspiring what Joseph Smith is telling the women, but I’ve realized something. Back in the 19th century, women had nothing going for them. They had no rights, no voice, no way to be educated, no independent income, […]
We all know that Disneyland is the “Happiest Place on Earth.” This is their purpose. The way they got there can actually help Relief Society reach its own potential. This is what Relief Society can learn from Disney. Disney teaches every employee about their purpose and their mission. They do it by being intentional and […]
