A Zion’s Army themed Relief Society Activity
Ebook by Shiloah Baker

“You cannot be indifferent to this great cause. You have accepted it. You have entered into sacred covenants. Regardless of what you do in the future with the knowledge you gain from your secular studies, you cannot escape your obligation under the covenant you implicitly made when you were baptized and the covenant which you have renewed each time you have partaken of the sacrament of the Lord’s Supper.”
(Brigham Young University devotional, Provo, Utah, 17 September 1996.)

Strong Women of these Latter-Days are needed to join the cause to fight for truth, defend righteousness and to proudly stand out from the crowd. God wants YOU!

We Had the Baby - Baby #8!

So, we were told that the baby was a girl and while the boys were disappointed we prepared for a little "sister". We bought all pink and purple, frills and bows. It was one of my best pregnancies ever. I was running until my 7th month. After 9 weeks of bed-rest and contracting I got back on the elliptical for the last 3 1/2 weeks of the pregnancy. (Baby was overdue by 5 days).

Braedon Carter Baker was born after 1.5 hours of labor 7 lbs. 10 oz. and 20 inches long at 2 a.m. end of June... Much to the relief of his shocked and exhausted mom, dad, his 7 excited siblings, Daddy's chain of command and the gym staff and everyone else that knows us...IT'S A BOY!!! {Not a girl as we were told!}



Ben was tickled "blue" and so was Benjamin. Everyone else was excited too, except little Bella who insisted a girl would be better. :) I think she's used to her brother now.



FYI- Because we are so thrilled about our new son, we're having a sale at the Homemaking-Cottage.com

Just For Today

by: N. Eldon Tanner

Just for today, I will seek my Heavenly Father in earnest prayer.
Just for today, I will listen for the promptings of the Spirit to guide me.
Just for today, I will express my love for God and His son, Jesus, in prayer, and will
show my love for them through service to my fellow men.
Just for today, I will study and strive for more understanding of the gospel
Just for today, I will seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness.
Just for today, I will listen to and heed the counsel of God's prophet.
Just for today, I will teach someone about the gospel by word or example.
Just for today, I will observe the standards of the church.
Just for today, I will express through word and deed my love for my family.
Just for today, I will be honest in all my dealings.
Just for today, I will express appreciation and gratitude for all blessings.
Just for today, I will be loyal where I should be loyal.

Relief Society Quote

"The Brethren know they belong to a quorum of the priesthood. Too many sisters, however, think that Relief Society is merely a class to attend. The same sense of belonging to the Relief Society rather than just attending a class must be fostered in the heart of every woman. Sisters, you must graduate from thinking that you only attend Relief Society to feeling that you belong to it!"

- Boyd K Packer
