Hello, everyone! I just wanted to briefly pass along more Church News. BYU-Provo has announced their devotional schedule for Fall Semester 2017, and it sounds like these events will be very inspirational. You can read more on that here.
During BYU Education Week, a representative from the Church Missionary Department gave a presentation encouraging any senior citizens attending that session to consider serving a mission. He stated that senior couples are greatly needed, and that there is currently a shortage of such couples in various missions and Church service opportunities worldwide. You can read more about that address here. Having served with both Welfare Services and as a temple worker, I can attest how important senior couples are to the Church and its progress not just in those fields, but also worldwide. I have seen so many older couples leave on missions and come back with incredible experiences to share. So to any senior couples reading this, I would add my encouragement to serve. You will not regret doing so, and the Church needs each and everyone one of you.
And the Church also released another update a few hours ago on how the flooding has impacted members, missionaries, and the Houston Texas Temple. You can find that update here/
That does it for this update. Thank you for the privilege of your time. Any comments are welcome and appreciated. Until my next post, may the Lord continue to bless you all.

More 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.
