To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
I belong to a challenge group of fiber artists where we take a word and depict it in art. This month’s word is CHAOS. It seems an easy enough word. Just throw a bunch of fabric together, make a mess of it, and call it good. My first thought was to do just that (in […]
I found my list of 101 grateful things for 2008 and decided it was time to get started with my 2009 list. Last time it took two sides of one page, two columns each, squeezing, minimizing, and making it fit. This time I’m going to use as many pages as I need to explain why […]
This blog has been an amazing ride for me as various talks, ideas, and histories have come to me on such a regular basis. I am never at a loss for what to post here. I hope what I share with you is interesting and helpful to you in some way. I now present to […]
While practicing with our Stake Choir, I found an opportunity to visit with my sitting companion. She is blind from birth and clearly fearless. She sings regularly with the Stake Choir, but I had never sat by her before. As we visited, she told me about a certain miracle she had experienced. As I reflect […]
We talk of adversity, but we are never prepared for it when it hits us personally, are we? We still manage to ask WHY? President Henry B. Eyring’s conference address gives us a good way to prepare; thus overcoming the adversity that comes to us all. I’m still surprised to run into people who aren’t […]
Spiritual Preparedness is a message the leaders of our church have been teaching us for a very long time; and that would include Bible and Book of Mormon leaders. We listen well enough, but sometimes that’s as far as it goes. We don’t internalize the gospel until it means something to us. While preparing a […]
Springtime is around the corner. That means it’s time to have a friendly reminder on What Not To Wear. I would urge all Relief Societies to invite the Young Women to attend a Sunday lesson on the subject of Modesty. Because this is an age-old problem, all women, young and old, can contribute and benefit […]
Women in the Relief Society are expected to live up to their privileges. First of all, what are our privileges? I happened to be in the temple while thinking about this, so it was easy to focus and see clearly. I began thinking about the privilege of being a daughter of God and what that […]
As I continue reading through the Women’s Exponent, I am struck by how great all these 19th Century women were. I truly feel the sisterhood of our organization. Back then, each Retrenchment group would report on their meetings; the minutes were published in the Women’s Exponent. Typically, the secretary would write a short summary […]
I read something once that has caused me to think: Power is not in wealth, but in control. This world would have us think that money is everything. Money brings power, money buys whatever you could possibly want, money places you above others. Money makes the world go round. Money is what Satan uses for […]
