To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
President Nelson’s talk “A Plea to My Sisters,” lists 82 specific attributes that we women innately have, because we are daughters of our Heavenly Father! He needs us to step up to become the women He created us to be. Radiates peace Faith-filled Is stalwart Covenant-keeping A wife A mother A grandmother A sister An […]
You know, I have to admit, I don’t understand people that say gospel-based activities are boring. Gospel-based would be discussions about the scriptures, the church, Jesus Christ, etc. Basically, anything that strengthens our personal testimonies. All the Relief Societies I’ve ever been in feel like they have to entertain the sisters rather than feed them […]
I thought I would share my Sacrament meeting talk on Personal Revelation. During this past year, I have felt an urgency to strengthen my personal relationship with my Savior. The best way to know Him is to obey Him by demonstrating our faith, virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience, kindness, charity, diligence, and humility. (This is according to […]
This week’s General Conference Odyssey covers the April 1981 Welfare session. This was a session for leadership callings only, so the fundamental principles would trickle down to action in the wards. We don’t have this meeting anymore, unfortunately. It was L. Tom Perry who mentioned that “a little upset in our economy” causes a sharp […]
This is a General Conference Odyssey post for the Sunday morning session of April 1981. What makes Self-Reliance a spiritual law? I’ve asked myself this a lot over the years, mostly because every time Self Reliance is mentioned in church, people tend to roll their eyes. I’ve been a Self-Reliance Consultant before, as well as […]
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 […]
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 […]
General Conference Odyssey from the October 1980 Priesthood session I keep running into talks that emphasize ministering to one another. I don’t know if it’s inspired timing or if this topic is of such great importance, it’s always being talked about. So, here we go again. What is the big deal about Ministering? We’ve already […]
General Conference Odyssey reporting on the Saturday afternoon session of October 1980. The world is becoming more and more polarized, isn’t it? While the world teaches everyone to be tolerant of all races and species of humanity, God preaches to love one another. In the process, the world waxes colder and colder while God’s people […]
