To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
In the April 1988 Sunday morning session of conference, I actually felt torn as to what to write about. Two talks, given by Elder Scott and Elder Ashton made me think of what’s happening in our day, as all conference talks often do. Specifically, the fears we experience. But then, I read Pres. Hinckley’s talk […]
Have you ever heard of the idea of filling someone’s pitcher? Sometimes we feel completely empty and our pitcher is bone dry of the nourishing elixir of liquid wholeness. Jesus Christ told the woman at the well, “Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give […]
I’ve talked to enough people to know that the Relief Society organization is struggling down in the grassroots of the ward level. With all the changes we’ve been experiencing, people are wondering just how to move forward with the church. What is our Relief Society sisterhood? Here are my thoughts and observations and maybe a […]
Sister Barbara B. Smith told a heartwarming story in the October 1983 Relief Society meeting. Would our Relief Societies do as much? “A visit by a Relief Society president to an inactive deaf sister revealed that it hurt the sister too much to go to meetings and never be able to join in the discussion.

The early sisters in the Salt Lake Valley had little to work on when they first arrived. But organizing themselves, they got to work setting their world afire. In our day, we cannot even hope to accomplish anything in two hours a month. We must be like those sisters who loved and lived the gospel of […]
It still amazes me how timely these talks are, in regard to what we’re experiencing today. The session this week covers the General Relief Society meeting in October 1981, and guess what the first talk is about? Transition! As we all look forward to next year’s new schedule, we are going to be adapting to […]
This is a General Conference Odyssey post for the priesthood session of October 1981. At this conference, Elder L. Tom Perry speaks about trusting the Lord. So, how do we put our trust in Him? The answer is to put into action the gospel of Jesus Christ. We have all the necessary answers and we […]
I am continuing my brief refresher and review of April 2018 General Conference. Basically, we were told that we needed to practice receiving inspiration NOW, so we will recognize and know Jesus Christ. And, of course, since we’re all in this together, we want to warn and gather our friends and family, so they too […]
This is my General Conference Odyssey post continued, as I continue reviewing the remaining conference talks of April 2018. This last conference was very powerful and direct. If we are waiting for a brick to fall on our heads to signal the Second Coming of the Lord, this is it. If we aren’t reviewing the […]
