To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
The holy priesthood is one of those mysterious blessings we have been given on this earth. Women typically think it is synonymous with the men, therefore, there is no real need to understand it. The priesthood is NOT just for men, and women DO need to strive to understand it better. For someone to fight […]
This week General Conference Odyssey covers the Saturday afternoon session of October 1975. This past week, I listened to a session at the UN where one woman after another got up to demand the world pay attention to human rights; the poor, the women, the alternative lifestyles, etc. They conjoin worthy rights with radical […]
I look forward to each Priesthood session of conference with its profound advice and counsel given to the members of the church. Yes, I said members–both male and female. Even though this is a priesthood meeting, there is counsel for wives, mothers, and women too. Leadership Skills Just one year before this conference, the new YM/YW […]
This is a General Conference Odyssey post for October 1973, Priesthood session. Although this session was intended for the men who are holders of the priesthood, I wish to convert it to the women, who have priesthood power they may not realize. As women, we have absolute power, from heaven, in order to fulfill the […]
I have often wondered why the Priesthood session of conference always seems to get the most doctrinal and severe gospel talks. Over the years, I would say that has leveled out, but this particular session was chalk full of life-changing gospel messages. If only we would take it and run with it. The October […]
This week, my General Conference Odyssey report focuses on marriage and family with Elder A. Theodore Tuttle’s talk, Altar, Tent, Well. Bear with me as I retell the story of Isaac and Rebecca, and their love story. Abraham (who was the “father of the faithful”) and Israel (who was the father of the twelve […]
In every Relief Society lesson I can remember, a lesson on the Priesthood only went as far as discussing the offices. Being women, we never seemed to get straight who received keys, what order the offices were in, or what exactly was the responsibility given to the men. The Priesthood session of the April 1972 conference, […]
Several years ago, I discovered an article (and wrote a post about it here) about a group of teenagers wanting to organize themselves into a Latter-day army of righteousness. This group of youth was mentioned in Marion D. Hanks’ Priesthood session address in Oct. 1971. I enjoyed recalling my feelings in discovering these young people and […]
Our Heavenly Father is so merciful. Right now, many women in the Church are questioning doctrine these days and many of these questions appear to go unanswered. I personally believe it is no accident and therefore call it a miracle and a mercy that in the Teachings of Presidents of the Church manual there are […]
We, as holy women, are participators in the Holy Order of the Priesthood. We partake in the blessings and can be blessed throughout our lives because the priesthood is on the earth today. Here are Elder Bruce R. McConkie’s 10 blessings of the priesthood (Oct. 1977) with some of my own personal thoughts. 1. We […]
