I get why there has to be death. My mind gets it. It doesn’t make it any easier on my heart. Continue reading
LDS General Conference Talks
The Power of Godliness
Kent F. Richards
For over three years now, I’ve made it a point to attend the temple once a month. The nearest one is 100 miles away so to do so usually takes most of a Saturday a month. Now, I love my Saturdays. They are precious to me. But attending the temple has become part of my routine. Continue reading
Opposition in All Things
by Dallin H. Oaks
I’m not sure how they do it. And I don’t mean any disrespect, I sincerely don’t know how they do it. How do people survive and thrive under challenges if they don’t understand the law of opposition? I understand it and yet, sometimes, my trials still break me.
Refuge from the Storm
by Patrick Kearon
This was one of the most buzzed about talks from the last session. It prompted us to do a service activity at Young Women Camp this year.
Always Remember Him
by Gerrit W. Bong
Years ago, as a newly called ward YW president, I was asked to meet with the incoming Beehives and give each one a personal preview of the YW program.

The Holy Ghost
by Robert D. Hales
In Doctrine and Covenants section 9, we learn from Oliver Cowdery’s example about the gift of the Holy Ghost. “Behold, you have not understood; you have supposed that I would give it unto you, when you took no thought save it was to ask me.”
He Will Place You on His Shoulders and Carry You Home
by Dieter F. Uchtdorf
Here is another one of my favorite talks from the last General Conference. I appreciate how President Uchtdorf makes things so clear for me.
One of our wards at our recent Young Woman Camp focused on how we are all both in need of rescue but also rescuers. This is what I thought of as I listened to their wise Bishop counsel the Young Women in his charge.
See Yourself in the Temple
by Quentin L. Cook
Years ago, when I moved back to my hometown and farther away from a temple, I decided to make temple attendance a goal. For some reason, I waited until I was 100 miles away from a temple to attend the temple once a month. It’s not easy. It usually takes up a whole Saturday.
Fathers
by D. Todd Christofferson
How about a little shout out to all the good fathers out there? Somehow in the quest to raise ‘woman’s status’ we have knocked down the good men out there. I’m not sure if that’s really how we should go about all this equality business.
A Pattern for Peace
by W. Christopher Waddell
I have already used this talk many times and can quote it. This was another favorite.
