To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
This General Conference Odyssey post covers the Friday afternoon session of October 1975. For God, nothing is impossible. It was during this conference that Thomas S. Monson first mentioned Christal Methvin, of Shreveport, Louisiana. She was the little girl who prayed a General Authority to her side. Elder Monson was the visiting […]
This is a General Conference Odyssey post for Sunday Morning session of April 1975 conference. Typically, when something is repeated in scripture, it’s because it’s important. So, if we don’t catch it the first time, hopefully, we’ll catch it the second or third time. This conference seems to have done just that, so I […]
As the closing strains of “As I Have Loved You, Love One Another…” faded in the air, I wrote down my final thoughts from the messages shared at stake conference this past weekend. The message was clear: Brethren, love your wives. Sisters, love your husbands. Show your love more, use the priesthood in your homes, […]
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will always, and forever, talk about the importance of righteous influence in our homes. Every talk, given in this October 1973 session of conference, can be tied to how we must conduct ourselves IN our families, as well as OUT in the world because of the expected […]
Today, I’ve written about a particular talk given at the close of the April 1972 session of conference, given by Elder Bernard P. Brockbank, entitled “Knowing God.” These are questions of the ages: Do I truly know God? Do I really want to know Him? Does He know me? Does He care about me? […]
This year, there are three things I hope to focus on as I study each of the lessons based on President Ezra Taft Benson’s talks: What is the doctrine being taught? What does the prophet mean for us to obey? How do we live these teachings as women, wives, and mothers in the gospel? […]
With all of this business about church discipline and excommunication, I would like to share my views on 1) is it all right to question in the Church, 2) what is the process and rational for excommunication, and 3) what is the future for members who choose this path. Is It All Right To Question […]
It’s interesting to me that Mother’s Day is more anticipated by children and less so by mothers. (In all honesty, mothers don’t really enjoy the day until the grandkids come along.) Father’s Day has always been held at a different level somehow. Many women and children struggle with this particular holiday observance. I have collected […]
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 […]
These lessons are interesting as they are really teaching us how to be better visiting teachers to one another. I hope you are having special experiences as we practice what we learn, blessing the lives of all of us involved. I would like to share with you my experience with activation. I hope you can […]
