Hello again, everyone! As the title of this blog post implies, I am posting today to share some additional Church news and temple developments which have been reported. First, on the temple news front: The construction crews working on the Kinshasa DR Congo Temple have made the exterior lighting operational. Although the Lord may have different timing in mind, it would not in any way surprise me at all if we were to hear an announcement of the open house and dedication information within the next 2-4 months, or if that was set to occur between February and May of next year. Time will tell.
In the meantime, moving on: The G20 Interfaith Forum has continued. Just in summary, two articles have been focused on that, with a summary of Elder Christofferson's remarks during that forum featured here, and with him addressing the question of why protecting religious freedom is so important here.
And the Church announced today some updates to their guidelines on food storage and the emergency preparedness program. You can more details in the Church News and via the official Newsroom on the Church website.
In continuing coverage of the relief efforts in which the Church is involved following Hurricane Florence, there is a report of how Christmas in September was possible for those Saints in view of a miraculous donation. And the Church News also reported how Elder David F. Evans, a General Authority Seventy, was able to craft a powerful message as a result of an unintentional General Conference blooper.
I am keeping my eyes on all Church news and temple developments and will do my level best to continue passing word on either or both fronts as I receive word of them. That does it for this post. Any and all comments are, as always, welcome and appreciated, on any post at any time. Thank you for the privilege of your time. If you enjoyed what you read here and would like to stay informed of newly-added content, please feel free to subscribe. 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 and Temple Developments 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.
