FHE  Conference Trivia Part 2

FHE Conference Trivia Part 2

It was so much fun playing that trivia game in preparation of General Conference last Monday night in the Single Ward’s Family Home Evening (FHE). Even more, I found that just knowing more about these men, caused me to listen more intently to their words at Conference...

The Words Of The Living Prophet

The Words Of The Living Prophet

I love reading the diaries and journals of Joseph Smith, the first prophet of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, known as the Mormons. I especially love the early ones which are written in Joseph Smith’s own hand. You get exposed to Joseph Smith’s mind,...

Do Miracles Happen Today?

We have so many examples of miracles in the Holy Bible, Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants and Pearl of Great Price. Miracle after miracle, such as: The healing of a leper. (Luke 5:12-13) The healing of a man with palsy. (Luke 5:18-25) The raising of a dead man....

Joseph Smith, Jr – Lectures on Faith

In Joseph Smith, Jr.'s "Lectures on Faith" he teaches many powerful lessons, one of which is: Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. (Hebrews 11:3) By this we...

Teens: A New Look at the ‘Original Sin’

In the Book of Mormon, another testament of Jesus Christ, we find a little clearer description of the purpose of the fall of Adam, and it’s done in two short statements. “Adam fell that men might be; and men are, that they might have joy” (2 Nephi 2:25). When Adam and...

Making General Conference Personal

Making General Conference Personal

General Conference has been adjourned until October, but we can continue to learn from it and to experience its blessings all year long. Because you’re a new member of the church, there was probably a great deal in this conference that was new to you. The speakers...

Teens: When God Wakes You Up With a Song

Have you ever woken up in the morning with a song going through your head? I certainly have, probably hundreds of times over the years, and have never really thought anything about it. . . until I attended a workshop several weeks ago. In this workshop the teacher...

What is a Solemn Assembly?

The solemn assembly you saw Saturday as you watched conference is likely to have been the first you’ve seen. “We believe that a man must be called of God, by prophecy, and by the laying on of hands by those who are in authority, to preach the Gospel and administer in...

What is This Thing Called Death?

What is This Thing Called Death?

Gordon B. Hinckley, the 15th called prophet of these modern times, wrote a poem several years ago that I just heard for the first time today. The words are so heartfelt, and because I've felt death so recently, it hit me particularly hard. What is this thing called...

Because My Father Asked Me

Jesus Christ said, Behold I have given unto you my gospel, and this is the gospel which I have given unto you—that I came into the world to do the will of my Father, because my Father sent me. (3 Nephi 27:13) Paraphrasing that scripture, I heard a general authority of...

A Leap of Love – Becoming a Stay Home Mom

A Leap of Love – Becoming a Stay Home Mom

I didn't always aspire to be a stay at home mom. I aspired to be many things and not one of those things was being a housewife (does anyone else hate that word as much as I do?). I've always enjoyed the challenge of a professional career. I worked hard for it, even...
