To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
I feel compelled to speak out to the Ordain Women group who are in the news. This is a time for Relief Society sisters to stand for something and unite our belief, faith, and witness. Many sisters have come up to me and argued that we should all be Mormon Feminists. And I have continued […]
Thoughts from October 2011 Priesthood session of General Conference: I am not one of those Mormon women who want the Priesthood or thinks the Church needs to become more modern. I have a personal witness that both men and women have an assigned placement in God’s Kingdom. He laid everything out quite nicely in The Proclamation […]
I have been reading The Infinite Atonement by Tad Callister and have had a wonderful time looking up each scripture he uses to solidify the points he is making about Jesus Christ and His atoning sacrifice. I often get carried away and decide to read the entire chapter to grasp the whole concept, and that […]
This is a talk I ran across, in the Relief Society Magazine, given by Joseph Fielding Smith who was serving as the President of the Quorum of the Twelve at the time. “The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints would never have been finished without the organization known as the Relief Society which embraces […]
This is mother’s response to our son’s request. (Read here to read a father’s response.) Dear Son, So many women don’t understand the Plan of Heavenly Father. Isn’t it silly that they think they can call the shots and change doctrine? The order of the priesthood is not a guideline from the Handbook, it is […]
Our son was presented with a question about women and the priesthood and he came to us for clarification, so he could give her a better answer. This was his father’s reply. The next post will be his mother’s input. Dear Son, Petitioning the church to allow women to have the priesthood is a cause […]
I was reading in my scriptures the other day in 2 Nephi, the dreaded Isaiah chapters. I actually love reading Isaiah’s words, because they are poetic, symbolic, and really beautiful when you read the parts of the glory of the Lord. On the other hand, realizing that he is speaking to us in our day, […]
On January 17th, 2012 Sis. Beck gave the devotional address at Brigham Young University. Her topic was sort of a culmination of what her presidency has tried to teach us. You can find the talk at BYU Speeches. Sis. Beck has been very consistent as she urges us to strengthen our own faith in the Lord […]
As I have read through all the talks from October’s General Conference, I was struck by how many talks were about POWER. As women, we sometimes assume that the men have all the Power, but that isn’t true. Women have Power, and an obligation, to make something of themselves, and their families. Elder Scott started […]
Back in 1969, Elder Harold B. Lee was asked, by the Relief Society General Presidency, to address the women on the obligations of membership in the Relief Society. I’ve outlined a little of what he said: He quoted the First Presidency, who spoke at the Relief Society Centennial, in 1947: “Frequent recurrence to fundamentals is […]
