As the entire church prepares for the next General Conference, we have all been asked to ponder the First Vision and what it means to each of us individually. I found this poem, written by Ruth May Fox (3rd Young Women’s General President), which states very clearly her feelings about the First Vision.   Hail […]

A series, found in the Relief Society Magazine, explores various people who knew the prophet, Joseph Smith. I have often wondered what it would be like to sit in his presence and hear him speak. I believe his magnetic personality came from the strength of his spirit. In this article, President Joseph F. Smith shares […]

President Nelson’s devotional address is truth according to what Jesus Christ has asked him to declare. Be sure to listen to, or read the entire talk here. Below is an excerpt, something that is challenging but important for us to understand. “Sometimes we as leaders of the Church are criticized for holding firm to the […]

I ran across this interesting event in Wilford Woodruff’s life that may be of interest to you. For President Woodruff’s 70th birthday (at the time he was serving as an apostle and president of the St. George Temple), he requested that the local sisters perform the endowments for his dead female relatives. This is what […]

Our Prophets Speak Boldly of Chastity

Only recently have parents begun teaching their children openly about inappropriate sexual relations. In the past, this was a taboo subject and children were left to learn from friends off the street or personal experience. Today, parents are fighting back. They are stepping up with open conversations to protect their children from the pain and […]

The Prophetic Proclamation

Do we have any idea just how prophetic The Family: A Proclamation to the World was when it was given to us in 1995? Back then, we thought everything it stated was so obvious. Today everything it says has been challenged. This document states so clearly the issues of our day: Gender Dysphoria— “Male and […]

Do You Remember What the Prophet Said?

Ever since President Uchtdorf told the story about a member of the church not being able to tell a non-member what the prophet recently said, I have always felt it necessary to explore an overview of General Conference right before the next one comes up. Do you remember what the prophet said? Everyone is still […]

How much power can Satan have over us when we are busy fulfilling all the challenges President Nelson has given us? I just finished reading all of his conference talks, since he was called as a General Authority. It’s taken me a couple of months. Here is a rough tally of the topics he speaks […]

You may have noticed that I have changed the name of this blog, as per the instruction spoken by our church and prophet. I count myself as a believer, and therefore, must obey. In Sunday School, we are approaching some of the “Minor prophets.” They are called minor because they are typically short books, but […]

| Prophets

Everyone seems to be talking about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and their recent stand on same-sex family policies. I wasn’t going to add to the conversation until someone took a post I wrote to malign the church.   Right here and now, I want to state clearly that I support the LDS […]
