To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
“There is one holiday, or more properly holy day, generally observed among Christians, the date of which is still set somewhat after the old Jewish reckoning. That is Easter, which comes near the time of the Feast of the Passover, being the Sabbath directly following the first full moon after the vernal equinox, which marks […]
We’ve had a little time to digest the new Handbook. All of us can look at it, because it’s online at www.lds.org. I think it’s significant that it’s available to all of us. We are all expected to be active members of this Church. Understanding “The Church Plan” allows all of us to get involved […]
Most of us forget that, back in Old Testament times, if caught defiling the Sabbath Day, you were put to death. Clearly, they didn’t play around back then (pun intended). In February of 1847, the Prophet Joseph Smith appeared to Brigham Young in a dream. The message given was, “Tell the people to be humble […]
I found this timely article from the Woman’s Exponent. The testimony of one can stand for a testimony of all. “We believe what is written in the Old and New Testament; we fully believe in all the words spoken by the Savior and the testimony of His Apostles. We believe in the fullness of the […]

In General Conference (Nov. 2010), Elder Larry R. Lawrence gave a talk on Courageous Parenting. I was so grateful for this talk, I practically underlined the whole thing. My husband and I admit we were blessed with good kids, but you know, even good kids can wander off into paths unknown. Where this isn’t the […]
April 2010, at the BYU Women’s Conference, Julie B. Beck challenged us to read the Book of Mormon with a special intent. “I have a little exercise for those of you who want something specific to do in your scripture study. Get a new little copy of the Book of Mormon. In the front of […]
There are so many different ways to approach a lesson, both as teacher and as student, and not all ways bring the Spirit. It’s easy to just sit in a lesson and listen, but you may go home (after spending three hours at Church!), and not have anything to show for it. Likewise, a teacher […]
From the Salt Lake Mission Home: “It was with new enthusiasm, being called into missionary work, that I set out to be open to missionary and service opportunities. With my missionary badge firmly in place, I was determined to accept a challenge from Elder Evans, of talking to everyone and asking for referrals. My first […]
