To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
In so many ways our world has flipped upside down and morality is now in its final death throes. Is there anyone seeking—in the scriptures—for true religion anymore? Ancient scholars and philosophers were interested in religion and asked questions to learn about and know God. Today, anyone can call themselves a scholar, and are more […]
As we fix ourselves to accomplish the Come Follow Me program in our homes and in our personal lives, It makes me think about Alma 31:5, and what it might be like to really be changed just by reading, hearing, living, and teaching the word of God. “And now, as the preaching of the word […]
I’m not a very good piano player; however, somehow I’ve been roped into playing every other week in Church. So, I began this year with a desperate plan to go through the entire hymnbook, reconnecting myself with all of the hymns. It turned out to be a wonderful experience and I might just keep going […]
It’s Christmas Time…and our nation grieves for the 20 children and 8 adults who were gunned down in Connecticut. Our hearts hurt for these parents and families who had the Christmas Spirit taken away from them. The media is talking about how to keep our schools and families safe.

I’m realizing more and more just how profitable it is to search the scriptures, learn from them, then teach the beautiful doctrine that is in them. First, there is no way we can remember everything that is in those pages, so they must be read over and over again, and Second, as we confront all […]
Ephesians has always been my favorite book in the New Testament. It must be the armor thing. That was always a great lesson in Seminary, FHE, Primary, even Gospel Doctrine. There’s just something about being warriors for Christ. As I have grown in understanding of the gospel, I have learned to love Ephesians even more. […]
The Book of Mormon is full of examples of faithful women, who stood strong in spite of opposing voices around them. Can you imagine Sariah’s fear when men sought her husband’s life? And how he told her that they needed to leave all of their luxuries behind and travel to the sea, cross the sea […]
In the last chapter of Mosiah, chapter 29, there is a big change in the Nephite form of government. King Mosiah knows his reign is coming to an end and all of his sons have left to preach the gospel to the Lamanites so he has no heir to pass on the kingship. Via inspiration, […]
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. […]
