Hello, all! I am posting with some exciting news. Today, the First Presidency announced the open house and rededication date for the Jordan River Utah Temple. The open house is set to run from Saturday March 17-Saturday April 28 (7 weeks), but will not be conducted during the time General Conference is going or on the Sundays in between (they will not be conducted on March 18, 24, 25, 31 & April 1, 8, 15, and 22). The cultural celebration will be held for this temple on Saturday May 19, and the dedication will follow the next day (Sunday May 20) in three sessions (being broadcast to those stakes within the Jordan River, Oquirrh Mountain, and Draper Utah Temple Districts).
For a while now, I have believed and was asserting that the Jordan River rededication would likely be among the first temple-related events of next year. It is nice to have that verified. I am looking into finding out more about all of this and will post with that later (adding it to this post). For now, you can find the article the Church News published about this here, and you can click here for the Mormon Newsroom report on all of this.
Thanks for the privilege of your time. I hope to be back with other posts later today. Until then, I wish you all the best.

First Presidency Announces Rededication Date for the Jordan River Utah 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.
