To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
I’m a late bloomer. It wasn’t until I was in the first years of my visiting teaching that I realized just how much service is truly a gift for those who feel alone. Sis. Joy F. Evans (counselor in the RS presidency) spoke in April 1989 about this topic. She explains how there are people […]
I created this website 12 years ago. Wow! That’s a long time. Frankly, I’m kind of tired of writing and I often think of quitting. But something always happens causing me to rethink and keep writing. This time, it was Elder Maxwell’s talk. From the beginning, my objective was to write about the history of […]
Sisters, we have been told over and over again our responsibilities in this church and there are still those who doubt, and argue, and demand more. Are we magnifying the priesthood as women? This is our most important responsibility. I quote from Gordon B. Hinckley’s talk this week (Priesthood session, April 1989), “Each of us […]
A few years ago, while writing for Mormon Women Stand (they’ve changed their name to Latter-day Saint Women Stand), I created a meme that corresponds with a talk given by Glenn L. Pace entitled, “Follow the Prophet,” which I’d like to talk about this week. He focuses on three different groups of critics: 1) nonmembers, […]
One of the greatest talks ever (and I don’t think I’m alone in this) is given by President Benson, entitled: Beware of Pride. There are so many powerful quotes from this talk I urge you to reread it for yourself. The main message is don’t let pride separate you from God. Even though I’ve got […]
What is happening to our world today? Do we feel it? A great shift toward wickedness is happening right before our eyes. The scriptures have offered us everything we must know in order to prepare for this moment, and spiraling moments to come. Are we spiritually prepared for now? As usual, our General Conference Odyssey […]
What have you missed most from your Sunday meetings since COVID-19 began in February? Our family would have to say testimony meetings. Do you know the evolution of testimony meetings and why this meeting is so important in our church? Read on …. This week’s General Conference Odyssey covers the October 1988 Sunday afternoon session […]
As COVID-19 restrictions lift, we find everyone releasing their pent-up frustrations in some pretty bad ways. This week’s hot topic is racism and it has manifested itself in a very ugly way. Our thoughts look inward to see how we really feel about racism, inequality, and social pressure. What do we do with our thoughts […]
This morning I woke up in the middle of dreaming that I was telling people about how monthly Relief Society meetings had evolved. Weird, huh?! But, weirder still, I found a way this dream can apply to this week’s General Conference Odyssey report. In October 1988, Neal A. Maxwell spoke on how Jesus Christ can […]
Sometimes, reading past General Conference talks fills me with renewed hope and understanding. We need to be reminded that Jesus Christ really does watch over His church and His people. Otherwise, there is no way these talks would be applicable just as much today as they ever were. Our prophets speak truth and that rings […]
