To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
I was reading about Noah and rainbows the other day and saw the phrase perpetual generations. I wondered what it meant, so I went on a journey of discovery. Rainbows mean something different today. I believe that the bible speaks truth and so I share what I learn from the scriptures. The Covenant A rainbow in […]
Everyone agrees that the Old Testament is difficult to understand, and it is. But when we take Nephi’s word and liken the scriptures to us, and in particular liken scripture to Jesus Christ, amazing insights can unfold. Here is what we can learn from Deborah, Jael, Gideon, and Samson. Deborah (Judges 4) Deborah was a […]
Gone are the days of Teacher Development classes and Inservice. Even Visiting Teaching Training has gone by the wayside. I ran across a talk, given by Elder Jeffrey R. Holland that should be studied and cherished by every teacher of gospel study. I hope it touches you as much as it has me. The original […]
I was reading in my scriptures the other day in 2 Nephi, the dreaded Isaiah chapters. I actually love reading Isaiah’s words, because they are poetic, symbolic, and really beautiful when you read the parts of the glory of the Lord. On the other hand, realizing that he is speaking to us in our day, […]

I am really bad about reading lessons before hand. I have good intentions, but it never seems to last. And I’m sorry to have to put this into words, but sometimes the teacher doesn’t inspire me to study on my own, so I don’t. I have learned that I am the only loser in this […]
I half-heartedly apologize for this rambling post. At the beginning of the year, I set a goal to read the New Testament, along with Sunday School class. I have never done this before, so I was determined to prove myself capable of follow-through. As I read, I have been writing my thoughts in a notebook […]
In the Book of Mormon, at the Waters of Mormon where Alma the prophet baptizes those that he was teaching in the wilderness, Alma rehearses the covenant we all make with the Lord when we are baptized. Starting in Mosiah 18:8 we learn how we are willing to bear one another’s burdens that they may […]
What is our first thought as we approach Easter, this most holy day of holidays? As I contemplate this special time of year, I praise the Lord for my increased knowledge, through study and prayer, which He has given me for the building up of my testimony, and love, for the Savior of the World. […]
