Hello, all! While no significant developments have taken place in terms of temple construction since yesterday, there are a couple of minor changes I have noted on my report of that progress. Yesterday, I noted that interior work was underway on the Meridian Idaho Temple, which is scheduled to be dedicated on November 19. Today, the status of that temple is showing that the work is not only underway, but is steadily progressing. In the meantime, at the Fortaleza Brazil Temple, structural framing is being erected for the tower that is part of the design.
As I noted in my report yesterday, I have had reason to adjust recently my estimates for when future temple-related events, particularly future groundbreakings for announced temples, will be scheduled to take place. Personal circumstances within the last couple of days have prevented me from working on the updated timeline I have promised for all upcoming temple-related events. But I will be working steadily on that in the next couple of days as I can, and I fully anticipate that I will have it officially posted on this blog before the weekend is over. In the meantime, tomorrow is my wife's birthday, and depending on what she wants to do with the day, I may not have much time to blog.
That said, I am grateful to all of you who frequently read this blog. Even if no one comments on any of my posts, the number of views on each post alone signals a clear interest in the topics I cover here. And so, I will press on. I may do one or two additional blog posts tonight: one for my wife's birthday, and one relating to a miracle we had happen today. Thanks to you all for your interest, readership, and support.

Minor Progress Reported on Two Temples Under Construction
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.
