To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
When was the last time you set a goal and actually achieved it? Why did you set the goal in the first place? Do we sometimes get caught up in the moment and wish for the end before the beginning even starts? Goals can be like that sometimes. Let’s make this year different. I […]
Now that summertime is here we have much more time to spend on our Family Home Evenings. Besides having all day, you don’t have to worry about homework and an early bedtime for school the next day. Start planning now for an all day Family Home Evening event at your house. Use this time to […]
The other day, while going down the freeway, I passed a billboard that invited families to come to family night activities. I immediately thought of all the places that that might include: museums, gardens, movie houses, entertainment centers, etc. It’s a nice idea to go, as an entire family–ANYWHERE–just for fun. But the next thought […]
Once a month we have a family home evening where all of us– the married kids, grandkids, college students, and parents– get together. Recently, it was my turn to be in charge and I decided to have a dinner activity. This activity entailed creating a dinner plan out of the different sections of the Plan […]
On Tuesday, April 17, at 10-10:30am an Earthquake hit the Salt Lake Valley!

Most of us forget that, back in Old Testament times, if caught defiling the Sabbath Day, you were put to death. Clearly, they didn’t play around back then (pun intended). In February of 1847, the Prophet Joseph Smith appeared to Brigham Young in a dream. The message given was, “Tell the people to be humble […]
In General Conference (Nov. 2010), Elder Larry R. Lawrence gave a talk on Courageous Parenting. I was so grateful for this talk, I practically underlined the whole thing. My husband and I admit we were blessed with good kids, but you know, even good kids can wander off into paths unknown. Where this isn’t the […]
My wife and I just recently dropped off our last child of six children, a son, to the Provo Utah Missionary Training Center (MTC). This is our fifth child (four sons and a daughter) to serve a full-time mission. Our oldest daughter didn’t serve a mission, but found her eternal companion at BYU and married […]
Back in the old days, Family Home Evenings were meant to create a special time for families to have a set time to be together to train in the gospel. Things haven’t changed over the years; in fact, FHE is needed more than ever. There are two reasons to keep holding Family Home Evening: 1) […]
