To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
From West Jordan: “Our Relief Society has started a challenge program called “I AM LOVED” in January, introducing the first month of goals. This will continue for a second month, with new goals, then culminate in time for our Relief Society Birthday Dinner in March. I hope the sisters won’t stop there, though. This challenge […]
How are we doing, teaching the Gospel Principles lessons in Relief Society? I’ve heard a mixture of groans and interest, but not a huge song of delight. They’re shorter lessons and I know some of you are wishing there was more material to draw from. Well, I have some thoughts and ideas for you, thanks […]
Elder D. Todd Christofferson gave a talk last conference (Nov. 2009) that deserves some further analysis. He spoke on the internal control vs the external control of our moral agency. When I look at how the world views things it occurs to me the mindset is totally different; another counterfeit to uncover. I see the […]
Anciently, the number 13 was a very sacred and signification number. It represented Christ and his Twelve Apostles, or the 12 Tribes of Israel.

In Sunday School class I presented several questions as a review of the Doctrine of Covenants. One of the questions provoked quite a discussion. “What would you do if a mob pointed a gun at your child’s head and said they would shoot unless you denied your faith?” This is a question that has been […]

I quote, “There are women in our community, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty, and sixty years of age, who would rather read a trifling, lying novel than read history, the Book of Mormon, or any other useful print. Such women are not worth their room.” Brigham Young […]
Back in 1985, Pres. Hinckley gave a talk on “Ten Gifts from the Lord”. As I read through these gifts I was reminded of the spiritual purposes of Relief Society, and my blessings of its membership. YOU HAVE THE GIFT, THE OPPORTUNITY, AND THE RESPONSIBILITY OF DOING GOOD. Our charge, according to Jesus Christ himself, […]
Torah in Hebrew means instruction, law, direction, five books of Moses, etc. and looks like this: תורה The first letter is a Tav, ת , which is the last letter of the Hebrew alphabet and represents our final destination, the Holy of Holies or the Celestial Kingdom. The next letter is a Vav, ו , […]
Elder Richard G. Scott’s talk on Spiritual Guidance, this past General Conference, was full of practical directions that even I can follow. With the General Relief Society Presidency asking us to seek our own personal revelation as we strengthen our ward and stake Relief Societies, as well as ourselves, I felt this was timely information.

There has always been a problem with modesty…and there always will be, because Satan knows just how to grease the wheel. We raised two girls and four boys. From the time the girls were small, sleeves always covered their shoulders, including sundresses, when they were babies. They learned to feel naked without a solid covering. […]
