To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
If you missed the Relief Society Broadcast, you can listen and read the transcript here. I invite, and encourage, you to watch it. It’s easy to glaze over it as just a nice meeting, but they gave us some great and meaningful direction. The Relief Society Presidency spoke, as well as our dear prophet. Here […]
I ran across a book a while ago that made me appreciate what the early sisters in our church had that was denied so many other women for so long. Freedom to think for themselves. The book is called, The Woman They Could Not Silence, by Kate Moore. It’s about a woman, Elizabeth Packard, who […]
Probably the most important Relief Society Documents are the Minute Book, the Relief Society Declaration and the Purpose statement. Here’s why: Sarah Kimball was a resourceful sister, living in Nauvoo, wanting to find a way to help build the temple. She and her maid decided to form a sewing group of ladies to make shirts […]
Why do you suppose the church historians put so much energy in preparing and publishing histories of the church and our Relief Society? Recently, they published the discourses of Eliza R. Snow. The reason, I think, is because what Eliza said then is still important enough for us to hear today. Pres. Snow was admired […]
It’s finally out!! My book, A Relief Society That Brings Women to Christ, is now available at Amazon. Order my new book here. There are a lot of books being published answering questions about women and the Priesthood. I admit, originally that was my question too. But, over the years, as I’ve studied what the […]

Nelson asked women to seek. Learn and understand our temple blessings. Learn and understand more of what the restoration of the priesthood encompasses. Claim our […]
Have you ever wondered about the adaptations of our Sabbath Day? When I was young, we went to church morning and afternoon on Sundays and had auxiliary meetings during the week. It’s interesting to see how our Sabbath worship has changed over the years. The Church was organized in 1830, but the first Sabbath Day […]
Are we willing to act on the words of the First Presidency? I thought I would take a closer look at what they said to women, in last April’s Priesthood session, and in October’s Women session. You may remember that all the members of our First Presidency addressed us in these sessions. This is what […]
What privileges are we living up to, if we even want them? And why should we seek them? Recently, while going through the Relief Society Magazine, I ran across a talk, given by President Belle S. Spafford, former Relief Society General President. This talk was given during the General Relief Society Conference in 1951. She […]
What does modesty have to do with missionary work, you ask? During the summer months, we always run into the problem of underdressing. But those of us who have gone to the temple, to make important covenants with the Lord, walk out of the temple with an important, and constant, reminder: our temple garments. And […]
