To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
Home: “the social unit formed by a family living together; the focus of one’s domestic attention.”1 If you ask a friend how she’s doing, what is the likely answer? A tired “fine” may escape her lips, but since the question is meant as a quick greeting, you don’t necessarily delve in to discover problems or […]
When my children were small I thought it was terribly romantic to have an old-fashioned Christmas and leave a fresh orange in their stockings. I hoped they would feel the appreciation and gratitude of bygone years. It took me a while to figure it out, but the appreciation and gratitude finally came when I began […]
Something that always keeps me going, and eager to start a new year, is the opportunity to set new goals…fun and exciting (for me) goals. It also helps that I actually completed the goals I set this past year, so I am raring to go for 2013. Waiting for things to happen in […]
When my husband and I were first married we belonged to a ward that was affectionately referred to as “Newly wed and Nearly dead”. It’s funny, now years later, we are in a similar ward where we are closer to the nearly dead members. Oh well, what goes around comes around, right? There are a […]
When we travel, chances are very high that there is a temple nearby. My husband and I always like to make time to attend a temple session, wherever we go. It used to be an accomplishment to be able to say, “I’ve been to all of the temples.” Now that is next to impossible, but […]

At least, that is what the Emergency Broadcast System, schools in the valley, and Emergency Response people will all be saying. A valley-wide drill was held in the hopes of preparing our cities for the “big one”, a large earthquake that may […]
In our magazine, we displayed a snackfest called Feast Upon The Words. It was pretty simple to come up with the design and put it together, but I created the sections in sort of a primitive, time consuming way. You can probably come up with something easier and quicker. These are the basic […]
My wife and I just recently dropped off our last child of six children, a son, to the Provo Utah Missionary Training Center (MTC). This is our fifth child (four sons and a daughter) to serve a full-time mission. Our oldest daughter didn’t serve a mission, but found her eternal companion at BYU and married […]
I’m guessing that most of you are familiar with the movie “The Blind Side”. Great movie, great message.
