To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
I am grateful to a church that would inspire its women to be…Great, Educated, Strong, and Powerful. Some women might argue this point, but there have been too many General Conference addresses of the Brethren praising and glorifying us, for me to feel oppressed and constrained. Our church history is rich with inspired, educated, powerful, […]
We have been taught so many things over the years. Because of modern technology we are able to actually dig up old talks and relearn what was once learned. I love the fact that we have access to all of the conference addresses EVER given and can glean such great words as this. The following […]
What makes us holy women? We follow the Lord and His commandments that lead toward salvation. Holy women DO NOT follow the world, Satan, and his minions. It is a choice each member of the Relief Society of the Church of Jesus Christ has to make. I wish I’d been alive to hear Eliza R. […]
I recently watched an old videotaping of the Phil Donahue Show with three women who brazenly forfeited their membership in the LDS Church because they were feminists and didn’t like the church’s stand (this was back in 1993). Briefly, I’ll quickly give you the lineup of these women, but it’s the fourth woman I would […]
Newsletters are great. I’ve seen so many different styles over the years; it kind of gives you a flavor of what the ward is like, at a glance. I can still say today that my favorite calling has been the ward newsletter person. Before you all write me off as crazy, I’ll tell you what […]
This is a comment I received that offers some interesting food to digest. What do you think? “From Sis. Beck’s “Mothers Who Know” 2007 talk: “Mothers who know do less. They permit less of what will not bear good fruit eternally. They allow less media in their homes, less distraction, less activity that draws their […]
My dishwasher is broken and I am terribly put out by it. How sobering to discover how dependent I have become. I’ve been doing dishes by hand and it is drudgery, plain and simple. So, while mindlessly gazing through the window that sits above the sink, my thoughts trample aimlessly and recall a once beloved […]
In Pres. Monson’s parting address at the close of the April 2011 General Conference, he said, “As we receive the issues of the Ensign and Liahona magazines which will contain these messages in written form, may we read and study them.” For several years now, I have read the talks, underlined key points, and promptly […]
This past General Conference, we heard two talks on the Atonement. There were also talks given on Desire, Hope, and The Sabbath and the Sacrament, which closely relate to this topic. Elder Kent F. Richards reminded us how the Atonement covers all the pain that we experience. And Elder C. Scott Grow spoke on how […]
In the last chapter of Mosiah, chapter 29, there is a big change in the Nephite form of government. King Mosiah knows his reign is coming to an end and all of his sons have left to preach the gospel to the Lamanites so he has no heir to pass on the kingship. Via inspiration, […]
