Slight Update to my thoughts on the Winnipeg Manitoba Temple Construction Process

Hello again, everyone! I wanted to post some updated thoughts about the process of construction for the Winnipeg Manitoba Temple. While many sources available to me have offered a general estimate that full-scale construction may begin at some point during the first half of 2018, I have done some further study about the climate in Winnipeg. That study has led me to conclude that full-scale construction will begin once the winter season ends. Since spring comes near the end of March, it is my new feeling that earnest work can begin on that temple somewhere around the beginning of April. If that happens, and if the redesign of that temple does not change the estimate we have been given of 20 months for that process, then the construction of that temple will be wrapped up as 2019 ends. That being the case, the dedication would likely follow in February or March 2020. If weather conditions cooperate enough to allow construction to begin a month or two earlier, then the dedication could take place before the end of 2019. It will be interesting to see what happens in that regard.

That does it for this post. Any comments are welcome and appreciated. Thank you for the privilege of your time. Until my next post, I wish each one of you all the best and pray the Lord's blessings will be upon each of you in all that you do.

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.
