| General Conference Odyssey

General Conference Odyssey post for Sunday Morning session of April 1982. People are either very excited or dreading the new church schedule, curriculum, and expectations our church has for its members. I’ve said this many times already and I’ll keep saying it: There is nothing new that our church leaders are telling us that they […]

Just think, Relief Society class will be held only two times each month. Is that a good thing, or a bad thing? Hopefully, you have read enough on my website to see that this isn’t a good or bad thing, but in order to obey our prophet and help him gather Israel, Relief Society leaders […]

This is what Relief Society can learn from Disney. Disney teaches every employee about their purpose and their mission. They do it by being intentional and […]

When President Nelson requested that we discontinue the use of “LDS” as a label of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, my original site LDS Women of God was immediately changed to Latter-day Saint Women of God.

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?   […]

Question: Did anyone hear anything that may have alluded to “Preparedness” during this conference? Answer: I did.   What is preparedness, but preparing us for […]

What Is Mormon Woman Ideology?   I raise this question, because face it; it is always the question. The world pulls us in several directions, and our religion pulls us in another direction, and then we have to figure out where we stand. Life is so complicated!   Or so we are made to believe… […]
