To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
In the story of Ruth, there is an episode where her nearest kin takes off his shoe, so she can marry Boaz. According to most scholars, the meaning behind this Hebrew tradition has been lost, however, I found a very interesting, and satisfying explanation for it from a pastor, from California. Putting his thoughts together […]
Many of this past Conference’s addresses were warnings to strengthen and protect our families. We already know Satan is targeting the family, but the Brethren must see something coming that will really test family units even more. May we listen to our leaders, obey their counsel, and take their warnings seriously. Elder Bednar says, “We […]
Just how important is it to read your scriptures? Let’s take a look. Before his death, King Benjamin passed the records to his son Mosiah. “And it came to pass that after King Benjamin had made an end of these sayings to his son, that he gave him charge concerning all the affairs of the […]
Every bishop I’ve ever heard of has Missionary Work on their list of goals for the year. Raise your hand if you see the goal on the list, feel guilty for an instant, and move on to better things? We forget a very important aspect of missionary work. The Spirit converts people, we merely act […]

Did you know you are going to have to sing a song when you get to the pearly gates, in order to get in? Don’t worry, though. The words are in the scriptures, in your testimony, in your life lived, and in your love of the Savior. You don’t even need to worry about whether […]
In a world that steals dreams, and fosters shallow happiness, our General Young Women Leaders have offered us some safeguarding secrets that are worth having ears to hear. I know they spoke to the Young Women specifically, but these words are for all women. I feel a little weird going to this meeting, because I […]
I feel compelled to speak out to the Ordain Women group who are in the news. This is a time for Relief Society sisters to stand for something and unite our belief, faith, and witness. Many sisters have come up to me and argued that we should all be Mormon Feminists. And I have continued to attempt to […]
Maybe some of you are better at your scripture reading than I am.
