Hello, everyone! Hope you are well. Following an excellent suggestion from a couple of my loyal readers, I am starting a new tradition on this blog: a short post highlighting changes in temple progress. Before doing so, I would like to apologize to you all. The reason for the new tradition stems from a suggestion that, with the longer reports, it is harder to tell what has changed. I have always had a problem being brief in things I write and post, and it is something I am constantly working on. I apologize for any inconvenience my lengthy posts may have caused.
That said, I wanted to report that VIP and media tours have begun for the Meridian Idaho Temple (full tours for that temple will begin this Saturday). And given that the open house is set to start for the Cedar City Utah Temple in 1.5 weeks, we can assume that media tours for that temple will likely start in about a week.
With those observations, there have been no other changes to report in terms of temple construction. Your comments are, as always, welcome and appreciated. Thank you for the privilege of your time. Until my next post, I wish each of you all the best.

New Blog Tradition: Minor Temple Construction Update
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.

I thank you, much clearer. Before I had to scroll to find the temple updates. I just searched for anything in red when you just added onto what you previously posted. Looks much cleaner and easier to follow.
ReplyDeleteThanks to you, Chris, and to the other individual who suggested the change. I hadn't realized what a problem that was for everyone. As I said, brevity is not my strong suit. It's something I struggle with daily. Hopefully this will be better going forward. Thank you for your continuing feedback. It is appreciated.
