To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
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 […]
We talk a lot about one on one; reaching out to the one, finding ones to teach. I did a topical guide search on the word “one” and came up with this perspective. First of all, thanks to Joseph Smith, we know it’s possible to stand before God and speak to Him as a man talks […]
Do you know your scriptures? Do you know how to find certain stories, doctrines, testimonies? Could you teach, at any given moment, something doctrinal and pull out the best references? Do you feel confident with the Word of God? Well, I thought I did, until I played a simple game with my recently returned missionary […]
There is a great parable, especially for our day, found in Doctrine and Covenants 101. Starting with verse 44: v 44: A certain nobleman (Jesus Christ) had a spot of land, very choice (in this case, Independence, Missouri, but it could likewise be our stakes, our homes, whatever is our Zion); and he said unto […]
The Women’s Exponent is full of articles about the greatness of women. I don’t think we can talk too much about the subject. Too many women still think they don’t have much to offer in this world. And there are women who think they are so amazing, they deserve more than what they’re given. We […]
I found this interesting article written by “Aunt Em” (Emmeline B. Wells) in the Women’s Exponent (Nov. 15, 1878). A couple of things you need to know before you read on. Emmeline was very vocal in her role as editor of this paper. Her opinions were very strong, but more importantly, she was a spokesperson […]
Is it possible to have just one favorite scripture? And don’t you have different favorites as you have various experiences during life’s journey? And what about when someone shares their favorite, and it hits you like a ton of bricks, and instantly becomes a favorite. It’s impossible to remember all of the scriptures that can […]
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 […]
Is anyone else feeling concern about our government and economic situation? I hear lots of people anxiously say, “What’s going to happen to us?” Of course, I’m concerned too, but my pat answer is, “We should be happy to be surrounded by so much corruption and despair; it only means the Lord will be here […]
I’m going to go out on a ledge and reprint an article found in the Woman’s Exponent from March 1, 1874. I am printing it in its entirety. It doesn’t give a date, or time period, and it doesn’t say how the editors of the Exponent found it, but it is interesting nevertheless. Mr. […]
