To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
In light of what is happening to Chip and Joanna Gaines, where Buzzfeed has accused them of possibly being LGBT haters, it’s not always easy to stand for personal convictions. Where hate is a strong word and has no place in this discussion, we can’t be afraid to stand our ground for our personal […]
While reading Elder Hartman Rector, Jr.’s talk, “The Strength of Testimony,” I decided I wanted to look up all the talks, over the years, that are on the subject of testimony. There are many! I happened on a talk, given by Pres. James E. Faust called, “A Growing Testimony,” in Jan. 2001 that raised a […]
What do Zombies, Mormons, and Ants have to do with this week’s General Conference Odyssey, you ask? Let me explain. As I read through each of the talks, it occurred to me how singular the messages were: Jesus Christ is God over all, He is our leader, our exemplar, and our Savior. He has […]
I have often wondered why the Priesthood session of conference always seems to get the most doctrinal and severe gospel talks. Over the years, I would say that has leveled out, but this particular session was chalk full of life-changing gospel messages. If only we would take it and run with it. The October […]
The General Conference Odyssey continues its journey into the October 1972 Friday afternoon session of conference. This week I combine several talks given with the idea that righteous love will help us help one another rise above “normal” into a better, happier lifestyle. As the sounds of 21st Century voices increase, the world proudly […]
For me, all of the talks, during this Saturday Morning session of General Conference, April 1972, seemed to fall under a simple message: Commence, Catch Hold, Cling, and Continue. These keywords are found in Lehi’s Vision as a guide for how we should journey on the strait and narrow path. We can’t just simply walk […]
There were some really good things said during the Thursday morning session of April 1971 conference, but one thing really stood out to me that I just can’t stop thinking about. H. Burke Peterson was called at this conference as the First Counselor in the Presiding Bishopric, so this was his first address in […]
Another great conference address; this one about life, and living, with simple purpose. A few years ago, my husband and I served together in a small branch at a care center. Mostly, there were elderly women who had lost husbands, and even children. They weren’t terribly happy to still be among the living, in fact, […]
I am very, very grateful that I don’t have to become perfect in all things. I was sent down onto this imperfect world, as an imperfect being, to work out my imperfectness imperfectly. Yet, I still manage to beat myself up. Why do I keep going around in circles? Why can’t I figure it all out? […]
Everyone seems to be talking about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and their recent stand on same-sex family policies. I wasn’t going to add to the conversation until someone took a post I wrote to malign the church. Right here and now, I want to state clearly that I support the LDS […]
