To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
Reading General Conference talks really helps us stay focused on the important things, don’t you agree? Reading over and over the warning words of our prophets are meant to help us stay on the path, stay true, and to keep our testimonies bright. The words of our prophets will never fail us for they speak […]
How are we feeling about all these “changes” going on in our church? Are they true changes, or are they simply shifts that refocus our sights on Christ? The gospel of Jesus Christ is true doctrine that leads us to not only salvation but exaltation, right? And we believe in works as well as faith. […]
This is a General Conference Odyssey post for the Sunday morning session of October 1982. The other day, my husband and I were doing sealings when the sealer asked us what “rites” are. Ever since I’ve been thinking about what our “rites” and “privileges” are in this church. And I feel like the talks in […]
This General Conference Odyssey post covers the Saturday afternoon session of October 1982. In this session, I am pulling out three of the talks: “Run, Boy, Run!” by Thomas S. Monson, “LDS Hymns—Worshiping with Song” by Franklin D. Richards, and “The Seven Christs” by Bruce R. McConkie. As I was trying to come up with […]

I’m a little slow, but I finally sat down and listened to some of the BYU Women’s Conference talks. They are now available on BYUtv. I enjoyed listening to the new Young Women Presidency. They were fun and told us a little about themselves. After reflecting a minute, and going over my notes, I correlated […]
General Conference Odyssey post: October 1979, Sunday Morning session Howard W. Hunter, then Elder and future prophet, teaches us how reading the very word of God will help us to know Jesus Christ. A lot of us struggle with finding time to read our scriptures. And when we finally get to it, it’s often to […]
This is a General Conference Odyssey post for April 1979, Saturday afternoon. This session taught such doctrine as to make it possible to clearly identify myself as a true Saint. We might all ask ourselves the following questions to see where our heart really lies. Do I Accept Russell M. Nelson as the living prophet […]
This is a General Conference Odyssey post. Faith seemed to be the theme for this particular session of conference (Sunday morning, Oct. 1978). Faith should be the theme in all our lives. I’ve listed each talk below with the random thoughts of faith that came to me as I read through them. Mark E. […]
I thought this most recent (Oct 2017) General Conference was particularly wonderful. I felt the power of the words spoken, that indeed, the Lord is directing His church and I received personal answers, showing ways I can improve. Conference is meant to do just that: To be messages from God through His ordained leaders and […]
