To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
Anyone remember The Glad Game from Pollyanna? That’s what we need today! Is it really possible to think of things to be grateful for when our world is crashing down all around us? The Glad game (from the book, Pollyanna, written by Eleanor H. Porter), will help us find them and think about them and […]
When President Russell M. Nelson tells us we’re running out of time, I perk up when I run across talks like this one, given by Ardeth G. Kapp, in October 1990. How can we build up our spirituality when life tends to tear us down? Sister Kapp was the Young Woman General President at the […]
Why do our church leaders talk so much about covenants? Why are covenants important? What covenants have I made? What are the blessings and curses of honoring or breaking a covenant? President Boyd K. Packer explains a lot about covenants in his talk, given way back in October 1990. His explanation is even more applicable […]
I find it refreshing to watch as the church makes adjustments to help its membership stay the course. At least, that’s how I see it. Being a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I’m the one who needs course correction. I’m the one who needs to move with the church and […]
Speaking in the October 1990 Priesthood session of conference, President Monson tells a story of a lonely missionary who never received letters from home because his parents weren’t active, and didn’t care that he was out serving the Lord. President Monson’s advice to him was to write his parents weekly, describing all his experiences with […]
This week, for General Conference Odyssey, I came upon a great talk on parenting. James E. Faust was direct, blunt, and ever hopeful in his words, and the words he used from his fellow brethren. James E. Faust began his talk with his own opinion: “In my opinion, the teaching, rearing, and training of children […]
Living these last days is not for the faint of heart. Maybe that’s why you and I were saved for these last days? Maybe our Heavenly Father knew we could get through it? Not only are our spirits up to the challenge, we have been given great counsel by our prophets to carry on, move […]
This week, I’m covering an extra April 1990 session of conference, called a Member Finances Fireside, that introduced and explained a new financial program in the church. From that point on, there would be no more budget projects, no more massive donations for activities, and no more member-built buildings. The church was now receiving enough […]
President Hinckley closed the conference, in April 1990, with the positive challenge to make resolutions to live better lives and come unto Jesus Christ. This is the positive message we were given 30 years ago, and we were given similar positive messages recently. Just out of curiosity, I decided to go through all of Pres. […]
In April 1990, Howard W. Hunter taught about commitment to the gospel of Jesus Christ. We’ve all known members of Jesus Christ’s church who leave for one reason or another to go out into the world. For some reason they are willing to give up. How do we keep our testimonies, stay committed, and stand […]
