Additional Update Provided on the Renovation of the Oklahoma City Oklahoma Temple

Hello again, everyone! In my efforts to continue to monitor temple-related developments, I have today come across yet another update on the renovation process for the Oklahoma City Oklahoma Temple. The last time there was an update on that process, the new entrance lobby was being framed. It was reported today that that lobby is now being sheathed. I have said this before and I will likely keep repeating it, because it does bear repeating: It is amazing and inspiring to see the progress that occurs, often on a daily basis, for temples worldwide.

It is additionally worth repeating, as I have previously done so, that the new design that has been used on other renovations for temples originally dedicated during President Hinckley's smaller temple building impetus in the late 1990s-early 2000s seem to be getting the same new exterior look.

That is certainly true for the Memphis Tennessee, Oklahoma City Oklahoma, and Raleigh North Carolina Temples, and may also be the case (though that has yet to be confirmed) for both the Baton Rouge Louisiana and Asuncion Paraguay Temples. Stay tuned for more information on that point in the days ahead. I will be continuing to monitor temple-related events in the near future and will do my best to pass news of those along as I hear 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.

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.
