Hello again, everyone! I wanted to mention a personal update here now. I have taken some time today to put together a form that will be available to view when comments are made to any of the posts on this blog. That form will, I hope, set the tone for and encourage the kind of feedback which will allow us all to more fully uplift and inspire one another as we exchange thoughts on the subjects covered on this blog. Let me know if you see anything in the wording of that form that may need to be tweaked.
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.

Guidelines Added for Comments on This Blog
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.

Hello again, everyone! I have again experimented with the layout of this blog in hopes that doing so will result in greater revenue for me. While I am looking into things I can do in that regard, if any of you have any experience in either web design or small business operation and would like to offer suggestions on how I can make this blog better, I'd appreciate it greatly. In the meantime, rest assured that I am doing my best to stay informed on the latest in Church news in general and temple developments in particular, and will bring word of all of that to you as I receive it. Thanks again to you all.
ReplyDeleteWith my thanks to my sweet wife, Amy, who majored in Art in college and who helped me figure out how to make the changes I wanted, this is the new layout. Let me know if you have any feedback on this. Thanks again.
