Have you ever taken the time to read the beautiful words of our hymns?  These words can give us comfort, hope, and motivation just when we need them most.  When music is added to them, it can almost wash all our anxieties away. “Where, when my aching grows, Where when I languish, Where, in my […]

| Hebrew

Let’s look at the word prophets as it appears in Hebrew (reading right to left): נביאים This is the plural form of the word prophet, because I really like the additional symbolism of the plural form. In the middle of the word is the Aleph, א , which is the first letter of the Hebrew […]

| Faith, Proclaim the Gospel, Scripture Study

Spiritual Preparedness is a message the leaders of our church have been teaching us for a very long time; and that would include Bible and Book of Mormon leaders.  We listen well enough, but sometimes that’s as far as it goes.  We don’t internalize the gospel until it means something to us. While preparing a […]

| Proclaim the Gospel

What happens when a female investigator comes to church?  Are the Relief Society sisters there to greet her?  Does she understand Mormon terminology enough to get around?  Does she feel comfortable enough to return? We get caught up in what we know and forget what other’s might see.  We forget that Mormons are very unique […]

| Conference Talks, Family

Here’s the bottom line—Women are different from Men.  We feel differently about things.  We think differently.  Our needs are different.  Our emotions run on different levels…completely. For women, Modesty is a universal problem.  For men, the difficulty is Pornography. For some reason, women cannot get enough of wanting to look sexy.  We are surrounded with […]

For several years now, we have been using the Teachings of the Presidents of the Church manuals for our Sunday lessons.  I have heard countless opinions about this manual, the most common one being they are difficult to teach. So, the question is: Are these lessons doing what they were meant to?  Are we getting […]

Our prophets really have spoken to us.  We just forget what they’ve said.  I occasionally go through lds.org searching for particularly appropriate talks that might be significant to us as Women of God.  Be sure to check my References Page where I list the talks that I find.  I find many of my quotes from […]
