To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
I ran across a book a while ago that made me appreciate what the early sisters in our church had that was denied so many other women for so long. Freedom to think for themselves. The book is called, The Woman They Could Not Silence, by Kate Moore. It’s about a woman, Elizabeth Packard, who […]
Everywhere I turn, I see a sign, a t-shirt, a meme, a news report that Black Lives Matter. Yes, everyone has the right to stand up and speak for themselves, and the Black community clearly has reached a point where they feel they have to speak out. Periodically, women have had their moment where they […]
I’ve had an influx of thoughts pointing to one main idea this weekend. Mother’s Day, of course, gets us thinking about mothers. This week’s General Conference Odyssey post covers the last session of April 1988, where two talks focus on mothering. And this week’s reading of Abinadi and King Noah finds me thinking about their […]
It’s finally out!! My book, A Relief Society That Brings Women to Christ, is now available at Amazon. Order my new book here.

Do women realize the spiritual power they have access to as baptized members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints? Three addresses, given during the October 1984 Saturday afternoon session of conference, talk about the spiritual power that is available to us if we will only call for it. “The Joy of […]
Once again, the Lord calls well-trained women who have served Him faithfully. Jean Barrus Bingham was serving in the Primary General Presidency before being called as the 17th president of the General Relief Society. Even before that, she served as a temple worker in the Chicago, Illinois Temple and a Seminary teacher. Born in Provo, […]
Linda Kjar Burton was born and raised in the church. When she was a teenager, her parents were called to serve as Mission President in New Zealand. In college, she studied Elementary Education and married her husband in the Salt Lake Temple on August 7, 1973. She stayed at home, raising their six children over […]
A few years ago, our son came to us explaining a girl in his ward was asking about his thoughts on the idea that women should be given the priesthood too. This particular son has always had an understanding of the gospel of Jesus Christ, and I have all confidence his answer was clear, concise, […]
