Hello again, everyone! While my previous post had stated I would only be publishing one more post prior to the official end of 2017, new information about progress that has been noted on the Lisbon Portugal Temple has come to my attention, so I wanted to pass the updated information along.
Where I had recently reported that preparations were underway at that temple site for the steeple base and roof slab to be poured, the update notes that the walls of that steeple base have been officially poured, and that work is continuing on the cladding for the adjoining meetinghouse.
As I have noted before (and likely will keep noting as much as I feel a need to do so), it is wonderful to see the progress occurring day-to-day for so many temples under construction or those that are undergoing renovation. It has been a rare privilege indeed for the last couple of years in which I have been able to note and report such updates on this blog. And I very much appreciate the ongoing interest all of you who read these posts have shown for such updates.
That does it for this post. Any and all comments are, as always, welcome and appreciated. Thank you for the privilege of your time. I will be back in a few hours or so to take a look back at the different elements that were reported in my first temple progress post of this year versus where that report stands on this, the final day of 2017. Until that time, I wish each one of you all the best and pray that the Lord will bless you all in everything you do.

Additional Progress Noted on the Lisbon Portugal Temple
I have had a lifelong love for Church history, which has extended to ongoing reports of the ministry of our apostles and prophets, General Conference, and all temple developments. This blog enables me to share that love with all who read my thoughts on these developments, which are sometimes reported multiple times per day as needed.

In addition to my life-long love for the subjects which I cover in the posts of this blog, I have long held the belief that we can disagree without becoming disagreeable. Differences of opinion are natural, while being disagreeable in expressing those differences is not. And in that sense, I have no desire to close the door on anyone who earnestly desires to contribute to the ongoing dialogue on subjects covered in the posts on this blog.
At the same time, however, I recognize that we live in a time when incivility, discourtesy, unkindness, and even cyber-bullying has regrettably become part of online interactions. With that in mind, while anyone who wishes can comment on anything if they choose to do so, I hereby reserve the right to immediately delete any comments which are critical, unkind, lack civility, or promote prodcuts, services, and values contrary to either the Church, or to the rules of online etiquette.
I'd also like to remind all who comment here that I try to respond personally to each individual comment as I feel is appropriate. Such replies are not meant to end the conversation, but to acknowledge earnest feedback as it is submitted.
And in order to better preserve the spirit and pure intentions for which this blog was established, I also hereby request that anyone not commenting with a regular user name (particularly those whose comments appear under the "Unknown" or "Anonymous" monikers, give the rest of us a name to work with in addressing any replies. If such individuals do not wish to disclose their actual given names, a pseudonym or nickname would suffice.
Any comments made by individuals who opt to not give a name by which they can ber identified may, depending on the substance and tone of such comments, be subject to deletion as well. I would respectfully ask that all of us do all we can to keep the dialogue positive, polite, and without malice or ill-will. May the Lord bless us all in our discussion of these important matters.
