To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
Do you have a testimony of Relief Society? That is the question you need to ask yourself this month. What makes Relief Society different from what the world offers women? I think our lesson this month asks us to examine how we feel, as women, about our place in the kingdom of God. Women have […]
After studying the history of our Relief Society, I am amazed at how industrious these women were. Granted, there was nothing in the Salt Lake Valley, when they got here. They literally had to reinvent whatever they needed. But the women were there to help the men every step of the way. The women took […]
Do you truly believe you are Guardians of the Hearth? Do you take that role seriously, and seek to establish, nurture, and defend the family from this position? The world would have you scoff at that notion. It would convince you that “men and women have been socialized to perform certain gender specific roles”. It […]
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 […]
How many women have been lost and forgotten over time? Millions! One, that I would like to remind you of right now is Jessie Evans, born in 1902. She began singing with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir at the age of fifteen. Later, she sang all over the world with opera companies. She was asked to […]
I’m realizing more and more just how profitable it is to search the scriptures, learn from them, then teach the beautiful doctrine that is in them. First, there is no way we can remember everything that is in those pages, so they must be read over and over again, and Second, as we confront all […]
I half-heartedly apologize for this rambling post. At the beginning of the year, I set a goal to read the New Testament, along with Sunday School class. I have never done this before, so I was determined to prove myself capable of follow-through. As I read, I have been writing my thoughts in a notebook […]
The men, and particularly our young men, got a scolding during the Priesthood session by Elder Holland. He did it with love, with tears, and with genuine concern for their personal welfare, but nevertheless, the message was firm. Our boys have been called into action. But because this is a site for women, I am […]
(From October 2011 Priesthood session of General Conference.) I have always felt a little jealous of the talks the men receive during the Priesthood session of conference. Their talks always seem to be more specific, more demanding, and more “important” somehow. I now have a different view that I will share with you. First of […]
In my daughter’s single’s ward, they arranged to have the Elder’s Quorum President teach Relief Society, and the Relief Society President teach Elder’s Quorum. The RS President spoke about Pornography. The EQ President collected comments from the men about their feelings of immodesty. I share these revealing comments with you. “Yes, Modesty is more […]
