Hello, all! I have some happier Church-related newsl pulled from Mormon Newsroom. The Church shared this article regarding the completion of the Ghana MTC renovation & expansion, and this one sharing Church news from various areas of the world, It was great to hear about these updates. Thanks, as always, for the privilege of your time. I will post again soon. Until that time, all the best to each and every one of you.
Added one hour later: This just in: leaders of the women's auxiliaries of the Church (Sister Jean B. Bingham, Relief Society General President; Sister Bonnie H. Cordon, First Counselor in the Primary General Presidency, and Sister Neill F. Marriott, Second Counselor in the Young Women General Presidency) traveled together to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma last Saturday, August 5, for a breakfast with leaders of the government, business, and various religions. The purpose of that gathering was to address the needs of that city to find homes for those in the foster care system.
According to the leaders in attendance at that breakfast, the following faiths were represented at this breakfast: Baptists, Protestants, Jewish, and Mormon. The LDS leaders asked to represent the Church at this event were well chosen. Both Sister Marriott and Sister Bingham have had foster children in their homes, and they and their families love those children as much as they do their own. There was much more to their visit than simply attending this breakfast. You can read more about that subject here. Thanks again to you all for your interest and support, and may God be with you all until my next post.

Additional Church News
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.
