Hello again, everyone! The Church News published another article in their ongoing series "This Week on Social". This week's edition consisted of post from several female leaders, in addition to those in the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. Sister Sharon Eubank, First Counselor in the Relief Society General Presidency reflected on the analogies she saw between the storms the Philippines experienced while she was on assignment there during Typhoon Mangkhut and the storms each of us experience as a matter of course during this earth life.
Both Sister Bonnie H. Cordon, Young Women General President, and Elder Ronald A. Rasband of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles posted about the additional details I discussed in my last post relating to the Church's new activity initiative for those aged 3-18. And Church President Russell M. Nelson posted his thoughts about speaking to a congregation earlier this month from a baseball field.
Sister Reyna I. Aburto, Second Counselor in the Relief Society General Presidency described her experiences visiting with survivors of a recent volcanic eruption in Guatemala. And President M. Russell Ballard, Acting President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, highlighted the importance of temple attendance.
I am grateful that in the age of technological advances, our Church leaders are embracing that technology to share highlights from their teachings and worldwide ministry efforts. I continue to monitor any and all Church news and temple developments and will pass those along to you all ASAP after I learn 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.

"This Week on Social"
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.
