| General Conference Odyssey

I look forward to each Priesthood session of conference with its profound advice and counsel given to the members of the church. Yes, I said members–both male and female. Even though this is a priesthood meeting, there is counsel for wives, mothers, and women too. Leadership Skills Just one year before this conference, the new YM/YW […]

The Message is Important

As I read through this week’s General Conference session (Saturday afternoon of April 1974), I was struck by how many more talks were given on the importance of having a prophet. It seems very repetitive, and almost boring in its incessant delivery. Yet, at the same time, it reminds me of reading the scriptures. Everyone […]

| General Conference Odyssey

How do we hold on to The Standard of Truth? By participating fully in a Solemn Assembly.   Our day is full of progressive thoughts that catch the average family off balance. Compromise, modification, and acceptance are forcing us to judge, or not judge, a given situation that expressly touches and influences our lives and […]

Here is the truth, once again revealed to us. The April 1974 Friday afternoon session of conference has some truly earth-shattering advice and information for us. I continue to be astounded at the prophecies we have been given, and that our day benefits so specifically with those words spoken so long ago.   There is […]

Several years have gone by since I’ve sat in the Conference Center to listen to General Conference live, so my husband and I decided to go and sit among saints, alive with faithful energy. We were surrounded by excited members, first-time attendees, people who wanted to be there and were eager to write their impressions […]

Wake Up! And Taste the True Sweetness of the Everlasting Covenant

| General Conference Odyssey

April 1974 Friday morning session I loved listening to the Women’s session of conference the other night because they spoke with such boldness. Our leaders are speaking to us boldly, more and more, it seems, well … so I thought. I’m learning, as I read earlier conference addresses, that our leaders have always spoken boldly to […]

This week we are reading the talks given in the last session of the October 1973 General Conference. As usual, the words have all been powerful, motivating, edifying, and true. What a blessing it is, in my life today (and can be in your life as well), to read through these talks which fortify my […]

I was greatly edified by the talks in this session of conference (Sunday morning, Oct. 1973). Seriously! These talks are still applicable to our day. The messages given were true then as they are true now. Truth is eternal, but choosing sides is now. It’s an ongoing battle to choose over and over again. I’ll […]

This is a General Conference Odyssey post for October 1973, Priesthood session. Although this session was intended for the men who are holders of the priesthood, I wish to convert it to the women, who have priesthood power they may not realize. As women, we have absolute power, from heaven, in order to fulfill the […]

The Last Days: “Watch and Be Sober”

| General Conference Odyssey

In the Saturday afternoon session of General Conference (Oct 1973), Ezra Taft Benson gave us a very direct talk on being prepared in the “last days.” Reading it, just now, has given me a new, improved reason to “watch and be sober” (1 Thess. 5:6).   When he spoke on being prepared he specified three […]
