Hello again, everyone! This will be just a very quick post to pass along some additional Church news which has come to my attention within the last hour or two. Let's jump right into all of that. First, in my late-night post last night, I had noted that the article published to introduce Young Women General President Sister Bonnie H. Cordon on Monday was followed yesterday by an article introducing her First Counselor, Sister Michelle D. Craig.
Then today, this article was published to introduce her Second Counselor, Sister Becky Craven. Thus, in the last few days, the entire new Young Women General Presidency has been featured in Church News articles. As I noted in my last post late last night, we have never before (to my knowledge) seen more than one article published per week to introduce new leaders, so the fact that the entire Young Women General Presidency has been featured in articles since Monday is rather unprecedented.
Additionally, the Polynesian Cultural Center (PCC) has featured a "Rainbows of Paradise" Canoe Show every year. This year, the celebration title was altered to "Huki: One 'ohana sharing aloha". As anyone who has watched Disney's movie "Lilo and Stitch" knows, 'ohana is the Hawaiian word for family. Given the increasing importance the Church has placed on the family in the 23 years since President Hinckley introduced "The Family: A Proclamation to the World", this name change is not surprising. You can read more on that celebration here.
I continue to monitor all Church news and temple developments, and will do my level best to bring word of those to you as I become aware of such items. That does it for this post. Any and all comments are, as always, welcome and appreciated. Thank you for the privilege of your time. If you enjoyed what you read here and would like to do so, you are more than welcome to subscribe to stay informed of new content from this blog. 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.

Additional Church News Reported
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.
