Hello, everyone! I found out a couple of days ago that the name of the street on which the Boston Massachusetts Temple sits has been changed to Hinckley Way, no doubt to honor the legacy of the prophet who built the temple there. As one who grew up witnessing first-hand the temple-building plan he put into place, I can say without fear of contradiction that this is an honor long overdue, and I am glad to see it happen.
Additionally, I failed to mention that the open house for the Meridian Idaho Temple is now underway, Elder Quentin L. Cook, who, as I may have mentioned, has some kind of role on the Church's Temple and Family History Council, was on hand to conduct VIP and media tours in the days prior to the temple opening to the public, and the first day of those public tours was yesterday. Those tours, which will not run on Sundays, will continue until a week before the cultural celebration (Saturday November 11).
Aside from these developments, there is no additional temple-related news to report at this time. Any comments are welcome and appreciated. Thank you for the privilege of your time. Until my next post, I wish each of you all the best and pray the Lord's blessings upon you all.

Two Major Temple Developments To Report
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.
