To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
Let’s examine the word stone or rock in Hebrew, it is eben and looks like this: אבן The Aleph, א , is the first character in the Hebrew alphabet and represents God or Heavenly Father. The Bet, ב , combined with the Nun, ן , means Son in Hebrew or Jesus Christ. Hence, stone in Hebrew […]
This blog has been an amazing ride for me as various talks, ideas, and histories have come to me on such a regular basis. I am never at a loss for what to post here. I hope what I share with you is interesting and helpful to you in some way. I now present to […]
Elder Holland gave a talk called Terror, Triumph, and a Wedding Feast at a CES Fireside a while back. His words have rested on me for days. I just need to share them with you. First of all, Terror: We live in a world that is “Terrible”, and there is certainly reason to fear. All of […]
When men were called on their missions, many of them were married. We have heard of these men leaving their wives behind (with a household of children and a working farm) to serve these missions. But there were some men who took their wives with them. Many women served in the Hawaiian Islands. When men […]
Years ago, I came up with what our family called “The Tolman Covenant”. I thought it was so incredibly clever. I likened the scriptures, just as Nephi said to do, to myself, my family, and my time period. I recently ran across this little family document and I now share it with you. I don’t […]

General Conference: our most up to date scripture. What we need to hear right now. The question we need to be asking ourselves is-What do I do with what I just heard? It’s hard to put all the talks into a nutshell, but what I got out of Conference is that we need to show […]
These thoughts are taken from two different talks with the same title. Sis. Julie B. Beck, First Counselor in the YW General Presidency (at the time), gave her talk in May 2004 and Sis. Cheryl C. Lant, General Primary President, gave her talk in Nov. 2005. Both talks give us important and inviting thoughts on […]
If you missed the General Relief Society Meeting, you will want to see it, or read it, in its entirety at www.lds.org. I have to be honest here; I love how they are talking about the history and legacy of the Relief Society. They are making sure we understand that the Relief Society works hand […]
In past posts we have looked at the symbolic meaning of the number ten: The Word for the Number Ten in Hebrew, and the number five: The Number 5 in Hebrew. To review, the number 10 represents the Hand of God and the number 5, means to save or rescue, using one of the Hands […]
