Hello again, everyone! I am posting very briefly tonight to note a self-correction of a previous assertion made on this blog. Earlier today, I had noted that tomorrow (January 30) would mark one year since the final three temple dedications of 2017 were announced. A double-check of the facts on my part verified that the announcement of those three events (for Tucson Arizona, Meridian Idaho, and Cedar City Utah) were actually announced on January 26, so it has been over a year since that time.
It could very well be that it was easier for the First Presidency to determine last year that all three US temples most recently dedicated were making sufficient enough progress to allow the announcement of the final two over three-quarters of a year prior to their actual occurrence than it would be to gauge how soon temples outside the US might be ready. We also saw the Jordan River Utah Temple rededication announced in early August last year, even though that will not occur until mid-May.
With all of that in mind, I would hope that we will be seeing a few future temple events for this year officially announced in the near future, but there are no hard and fast set rules about when that could occur. I will do my best to bring you the latest developments in that regard and will be sure to pass along any updates as I become aware of them.
That does it for this post. Any and all comments are, as always, 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 that the Lord will bless you all in everything you do.

CORRECTION: Temple Dedications Announced in 2017
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.
