To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
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 […]
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 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 […]
I do love stories about courageous women! Here are two, so this post is sort of long, but so worth your time. This story starts off with Elsie Nielson who traveled with the Willie company, through the blizzards, then later traveled south to Bluff, Utah with the Hole-in-the-Rock expedition. Also, during that southern expedition, we […]
I went to an Alex Boye concert the other night and really enjoyed myself. His way of Africanizing a song is moving and great fun to listen to. He also has a way of teaching the importance of touching lives, which he always sets out to do with his singing. Strange, but true, I relate […]
I was just reading through Sharon Eubank’s conference address, “Turn On Your Light,” and the message I got from her, loud and clear, was that we have been called on a mission. Are we righteous enough to accept the call? Are we articulate enough in our faith, knowledge, and ability to share? Will our light […]
I see LDS women of God in the war chapters of the Book of Mormon. In those war chapters, the Nephites had a great commander, armor, and shields, and they fought with the Lord at their side. As I was recently reading in Alma 43, I actually saw, in my mind’s eye, righteous women […]
I am grateful to be part of an extraordinary group of women. If you haven’t heard about Mormon Women Stand, read this interview with Kathryn Skaggs and Angela Falentine. Our purpose is to stand with the prophet of the Church and fiercely defend the Church and all it stands for. In particular, we honor and […]
So many women are doing good things today. We should all keep our eyes and ears open to extend ourselves and share our unity in faith. Some bright young women, at Brigham Young University, have developed a film about strong Mormon women. You may be interested in watching this 30 minute video at their website […]
How many women have been lost and forgotten over time? Millions! One, that I would like to remind you of right now is Jessie Evans, born in 1902. She began singing with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir at the age of fifteen. Later, she sang all over the world with opera companies. She was asked to […]
