President Hinckley closed the conference, in April 1990, with the positive challenge to make resolutions to live better lives and come unto Jesus Christ. This is the positive message we were given 30 years ago, and we were given similar positive messages recently. Just out of curiosity, I decided to go through all of Pres. […]

After hearing Sis. Joy D. Jones’ and Sis. Jean B. Bingham’s talks, I heard, unmistakably, specific challenges for all of us women. We were challenged to take a stand in the cause for Christ and to unify with our brethren. What does that mean? What must we do to meet the challenge? First of all, […]

| Motherhood

Is it really true? Is Relief Society the last place on earth a girl can learn how to be a mother? Perhaps, there are other organizations out there, but it’s likely our church is the last and only place motherhood is praised. In fact, our church offers so many tools to help mothers be distinct […]

| Motherhood

The argument about women and the priesthood has been going on for a long time. But the glorifying answers have been around for just as long a time, even longer. The truth has always been given to us. An article written by Leah Widtsoe in 1933 clarifies brilliantly. Leah Dunford Widtsoe was the wife of […]

| General Conference Odyssey

For years I have sat in Relief Society classes where unknowing sisters would use all class time figuring out who held keys of the priesthood. How I wish they had known about this talk to truly understand and explain the blessings of having the keys of the priesthood. Elder McConkie, in a very simple and […]

This is a General Conference Odyssey post. This week we are reporting on the Priesthood session of the April 1978 General Conference. President N. Eldon Tanner spoke to the men on being “Worthy of Proper Recommendation.” He said a few interesting things that got me thinking: can men control themselves? In the news, recently, we’ve […]
