To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
Pain in the Mormon community seems to be a “hot topic” these days. I wonder why? I mean, I wonder why now? Pain has been with us for a long time. It is most definitely real. And everyone feels it. I’m just wondering why it is now being used as a catalyst for change. Mormon […]
Back in the old days there used to be training for new Visiting Teachers. Every month there was a Visiting Teaching meeting. That turned into once a quarter, then a five minute blurb every once in a while. Soon, Visiting Teaching Training turned into Visiting Teaching Nagging. Everyone started getting busier and no one wanted […]
Our Heavenly Father is so merciful. Right now, many women in the Church are questioning doctrine these days and many of these questions appear to go unanswered. I personally believe it is no accident and therefore call it a miracle and a mercy that in the Teachings of Presidents of the Church manual there are […]
We, as holy women, are participators in the Holy Order of the Priesthood. We partake in the blessings and can be blessed throughout our lives because the priesthood is on the earth today. Here are Elder Bruce R. McConkie’s 10 blessings of the priesthood (Oct. 1977) with some of my own personal thoughts. 1. We […]
Now that we’ve all had time to digest our General Women’s Meeting, I hope you are all seeing that their words have the potential to change our lives. For me, seeing the Conference Center filled with women of all ages was so unifying, uplifting, and beautiful; it’s hard to express into words. When the young […]
I’m probably the only one who has this problem. I confess, my mind wanders when I take the Sacrament. I have a pretty good understanding of the gospel of Jesus Christ, and I certainly love, honor, and obey Him as best I can, but I simply must try harder. I’m still reading The Infinite Atonement […]
It’s a new year! That means it’s time to evaluate where we stand and continue challenging ourselves to move forward along the path toward exaltation. Can you believe how Satan is working overtime? He has convinced the world that it’s blasphemous to try to be like God. He has worked his poison into every girl […]
Why were Adam and Eve given two conflicting commandments? Possibly God wanted them to use their agency in the choice they made while in their innocence. Possibly they understood enough that it was better to sin against the lower law in order to gain the higher law. Eve was clearly “beguiled” by Satan, but I […]
I’ve covered a lot of the history of the Relief Society on this site. Since I’m not a scholar, I don’t have a driving passion to find every single pioneer record, or to write extensive biographies on every woman who ever lived and breathed, and for that matter, I’ve discovered that many documents and […]
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 […]
