Hello, everyone! I am posting today with a few significant albeit minor Church news updates. First of all, this article describes how newly acquired fragments of the original manuscript of the Book of Mormon have come in to the hands of the Church History Department personnel who are busy working to preserve it. I hope each of you will enjoy the article about it as much as I did.
Next, this article shares remarks by well-respected BYU professor Brad R. Wilcos, who is often called upon to speak and share motivational or inspirational remarks with youth and young adults. Brother Wilcox focused his address on six types of salvation that are offered to all mankind through the grace and the atoning sacrifice of our Lord and Master, Jesus Christ.
Finally, while I myself never have been and never will be a big football fan, for any readers of my blog that do enjoy such things, this article features an interview with BYU athletic director Todd Holmoe, who spoke on what's ahead for BYU sports during the fall semester of 2017.
That does it for this update. I will be back before too much longer with an updated version of my temple construction progress report. For now, thank you for the privilege of your time, feel free to let me know your thoughts on this post if you feel so inclined, and may the Lord bless you all. Until I post again, I wish each and every one of you all the very best.

Church News Updates
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.
