Important Strides Made in Renovation of Frankfurt Germany Temple
When I checked Rick Satterfield's excellent LDS Church Temples website yesterday (Monday), I learned, much to my great surprise and delight, that important strides have been made in the renovation of the Frankfurt Germany Temple. Where before, Rick had just noted that the temple was undergoing renovation, now he indicates that some exterior stone has been removed, the foundation has been exposed, and the old meetinghouse on the temple site has been razed. This is remarkable news. And even though that temple will likely not be rededicated until 2018, this progress report is most significant. For a variety of reasons, I have not been able to report on this until just now. But I hope that this information is helpful and of value to you all. I so very much appreciate that this blog has become the success that it is, and that is because people have been so kind as to read and comment on posts that I have done. Any success I claim as a blogger is because of the feedback I get, and is not related in any way to the content of this blog. I am truly humbled by all those who continue to express an interest in and support for the effort I put into what I do. Thank you all, from the bottom of my heart.
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.
