To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
General Conference Odyssey post for April 1981 Saturday afternoon session. In this session, (then Elder) Hinckley speaks on The Joseph Smith III Document and the Keys of the Kingdom. This alone is an interesting title for his talk, demonstrating a nothing-to-fear attitude. First, let me review what this document is about. A few months earlier, […]
A General Conference Odyssey post for the Women’s Meeting of October 1980. In Boyd K. Packer’s talk, The Circle of Sisters, he mentions the story of Nehemiah, in the Old Testament. It makes me curious to see how Nehemiah’s story relates to the Relief Society, and so I did a little research. Nehemiah’s Wall The […]
You may have noticed that I have changed the name of this blog, as per the instruction spoken by our church and prophet. I count myself as a believer, and therefore, must obey. In Sunday School, we are approaching some of the “Minor prophets.” They are called minor because they are typically short books, but […]
A General Conference Odyssey post on the Saturday morning session of April 1981. The Brethren are conducting “Special Stake Conferences,” where our leaders can cover better the 3500+ stakes in the church. Ours was this weekend and we were given some pretty direct council that correlates well with this week’s General Conference Odyssey report. First […]
We’ve spent the last four months talking about Ministering. How are you feeling about this topic and what is expected of you? Have your feelings changed from what you thought Visiting Teaching was about? And what happens now? The Brethren clearly feel this change in attitude is urgent, seeing as the emphasis is strong and […]
General Conference Odyssey post on the Welfare session of October 1980. President Spencer W. Kimball spoke on Tithing. He shares a fairly well-known story about Mary Fielding Smith being told that because she was a widow she shouldn’t have to pay her tithing. Her famous snappy remark, that she expects the blessings that come from […]
I am continuing my brief refresher and review of April 2018 General Conference. Basically, we were told that we needed to practice receiving inspiration NOW, so we will recognize and know Jesus Christ. And, of course, since we’re all in this together, we want to warn and gather our friends and family, so they too […]
This is my General Conference Odyssey post continued, as I continue reviewing the remaining conference talks of April 2018. This last conference was very powerful and direct. If we are waiting for a brick to fall on our heads to signal the Second Coming of the Lord, this is it. If we aren’t reviewing the […]
This General Conference Odyssey post is for the Sunday afternoon session of October 1980. President Kimball closes this conference with a review of expectations. The conference was full of talks on loving our brothers and sisters, taking care of one another, overcoming adversity with one another, and strengthening one another. He quoted King Benjamin, who […]
General Conference Odyssey post for the Sunday morning session of October 1980. These are keywords on topics given in this session of conference. I have found while working through this Odyssey, that some sessions seem to have an overall message in them. It doesn’t always happen, but when it does it offers me a powerful message. Preparedness Restoration […]
