Brief Personal Update
Hello, everyone! Just wanted to post today with a personal update. I went in for my usual monthly appointment with my neurologist yesterday, and we were able to get many of my concerns addressed. For a variety of reasons, I was late getting to bed last night. I don't remember too much of what happened in the next few hours, but my wife told me that at one point I got up and that within the next few minutes, I was convulsing pretty badly, which soon turned into full-blown seizures. So she called the paramedics. They checked me out here at home, then recommended that we take me to the emergency room. We spent the next several hours there while tests were run, and everything came back looking all right. I was released less than 3 hours after the whole ordeal started, and I have not had any problems since then. So we are sitting quietly at home, and the ordeal has passed. It was troubling in the moment, but I am grateful for two things in particular: the professional and prompt care I received an the people who provided it, and, more than that, especially how clear-headed my wife was throgh the whole ordeal. Just wanted to pass along that update. Prayers would be appreciated at this time, as would any comments. In the meantime, thank you for the privilege of your time, and may the Lord bless each and everyone one of you until my next post.
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.
