To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
As you read through our Visiting Teaching message this month, I hope Eliza R. Snow’s quote strikes a chord in every one of us, as sisters in the kingdom: “If any of the daughters and mothers in Israel are feeling in the least circumscribed [limited] in their present spheres, they will now find ample scope […]
This year Christmas is on a Sunday. What a great opportunity this is for us to create a holy season for our children, friends, and family. We all suspect Christ may, or may not, have been born on December 25th. In fact, this date was actually a pagan holiday, originally. Not much has changed over […]
The other night my wife received a phone call from a sister from the ward who was asking if I was available to give her friend a priesthood blessing. I was available and quickly called another brother in our ward to assist. If I have time, I try to change my clothes into my Sunday […]
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 […]
The men, and particularly our young men, got a scolding during the Priesthood session by Elder Holland. He did it with love, with tears, and with genuine concern for their personal welfare, but nevertheless, the message was firm. Our boys have been called into action.

(From October 2011 Priesthood session of General Conference.) I have always felt a little jealous of the talks the men receive during the Priesthood session of conference. Their talks always seem to be more specific, more demanding, and more “important” somehow. I now have a different view that I will share with you. First of […]
We’ve been reminded often, by the Brethren, the importance of being grateful every day. Well, here it is—November—so it’s time to start thinking about it, right? I know, it’s just not easy to think of blessings when so many things are going on in our lives, both good and bad, but always overwhelming. I don’t […]
Sometimes, I wonder if we are building as much character in our Young Women as we used to. 1916 BEEHIVE REQUIREMENTS In 1916, every female over fourteen was a Beehive girl until she entered Relief Society; there were no Mia Maids, Gleaners, or Laurels. The following are twenty out of the three hundred seventy-three requirements […]
In my daughter’s single’s ward, they arranged to have the Elder’s Quorum President teach Relief Society, and the Relief Society President teach Elder’s Quorum. The RS President spoke about Pornography. The EQ President collected comments from the men about their feelings of immodesty. I share these revealing comments with you. “Yes, Modesty is more […]
Funerals don’t happen very often, but when they do, it is important they are handled in the most sensitive, smoothest way possible. This is a list created by Michelle Linford, of Mormon Women. She and her committee have used this, learning through trial and error, finally hitting on a helpful set of guidelines. I will […]
