To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
This is a General Conference Odyssey post of the Welfare session of April 1982. Back in 1982, welfare concerns were employment, economy and maintaining your property. Today, our emphasis has shifted somewhat. While trying to physically survive on this planet, we can find valuable welfare support at lds.org. As we begin this new year of […]
General Conference Odyssey post for the Sunday afternoon session of April 1982. A few weeks ago, I discovered a book called, Salvation Universal, written by Joseph Fielding Smith. In it, I read a phrase that has stuck with me ever since. President Smith said, “The fact is, the whole plan of redemption is based on […]
General Conference Odyssey post for Sunday Morning session of April 1982. People are either very excited or dreading the new church schedule, curriculum, and expectations our church has for its members. I’ve said this many times already and I’ll keep saying it: There is nothing new that our church leaders are telling us that they […]
I am grateful to know about the priesthood, through the gospel of Jesus Christ. Just think, there are people walking around this world who don’t know that the sun, which gives light, is called after the Son, who is light.

With home-centered learning, we can raise the youth battalion to wield swords of the spirit of truth. And how do we do this? By knowing and understanding the very depths of the Book of Mormon.

We know the Lord is coming soon and the prophet has asked us to help Him gather Israel like never before. We are all called to the work of hastening the gathering. Joseph Smith learned early on that he was to lead the final dispensation. There must have been a lot of pressure on his […]
It still amazes me how timely these talks are, in regard to what we’re experiencing today. The session this week covers the General Relief Society meeting in October 1981, and guess what the first talk is about? Transition! As we all look forward to next year’s new schedule, we are going to be adapting to […]
A General Conference Odyssey post. Years ago, while teaching a Gospel Doctrine class, I was to cover Ephesians. The first part was about marriage and the second part was the Armor of God. Who doesn’t like the armor of God lesson, right? I asked a big, burly guy to help me with this part of […]
This is a General Conference Odyssey post for the October 1981 Saturday afternoon session. We all feel pain, but do we feel driven to overcome our pain? Most of us have heard the stories about President Kimball’s health problems, yet they never prevented his work as God’s prophet, if he could possibly help it. The […]
This General Conference Odyssey post is on the Saturday morning session of October 1981. Last week, we heard some drastic changes to our Sunday schedule. Now, everyone is trying to figure out how to work that into a ward situation. All lessons in Priesthood/Relief Society will now be taught from General Conference addresses. And if […]
