To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
This is a talk I ran across, in the Relief Society Magazine, given by Joseph Fielding Smith who was serving as the President of the Quorum of the Twelve at the time. “The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints would never have been finished without the organization known as the Relief Society which embraces […]
Everyone has their own idea of how a Relief Society Newsletter should look. Actually, most of them look a lot alike with a list of birthdays, calendar events, and maybe the visiting teaching message for the month. Pretty simple and basic. Some wards have gotten into the Information Age and created blogs where they can […]
I don’t have much to say about this month’s visiting teaching message. But I do have some questions. What did those Saints, in Nauvoo, know about the Lord that made receiving their endowment so important before crossing the Plains? Are we as anxious to go to the temple as those Saints were? When we go […]
Another general conference is over, so now what are we going to do? Pres. Monson’s final words to us were: Study the messages carefully. Be good citizens and good neighbors. Be tolerant, kind, and loving. Jesus has shown us how to act on a daily basis. Visit others. Rejoice! Let Jesus guide us. May our […]
For those who were unable to attend the Auxiliary Training in Salt Lake City, you’ll be thrilled to know that you can view the session online at lds.org, as if you were there. They gave us a lot of information, a lot of things to think about, and the spirit flowed. They will continue along […]

There are many paintings, sculptures, and depictions of Christ. Some are just beautiful, others not so much. I thought, as a celebration of Easter, I would share some of my favorites of our Savior, Jesus Christ. I really love how she depicts him here. A mixture of strength and tenderness. His […]
This is mother’s response to our son’s request. (Read here to read a father’s response.) Dear Son, So many women don’t understand the Plan of Heavenly Father. Isn’t it silly that they think they can call the shots and change doctrine? The order of the priesthood is not a guideline from the Handbook, it is […]
Our son was presented with a question about women and the priesthood and he came to us for clarification, so he could give her a better answer. This was his father’s reply. The next post will be his mother’s input. Dear Son, Petitioning the church to allow women to have the priesthood is a cause […]
Susa Young Gates was a formidable woman, and I look forward to the day I can visit and talk with her. She spoke strongly about the responsibility mothers have of teaching their children the gospel. Being the first editor of the Young Woman’s Journal, she was free to speak her mind on pretty […]
