Hello again, everyone! Some additional Church news has been noted, along with one more temple development. Earlier today, the sources I have available for temple updates noted that the process of demolishing the old Church office building is well underway at the site for the Bangkok Thailand Temple. With 1.5 months remaining between now and the date when the groundbreaking ceremony will be held, it was good to hear of this development.
Now for the Church news. We first have a couple of inspiring stories about how the father of an autistic boy was blessed by listening to the counsel of a 13-year-old Deacon's Quorum President, and the other is about how a father of 6 has been able to move forward after his wife was killed by a drunk driver. The Church News website also summarized the highlights from the Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square's 2018 Christmas Concert, which is, as previously noted, featuring Kristen Chenoweth.
I continue to monitor all such developments and will do my level best to continue to pass word of those to you all as I receive it, either through new posts or comments on previously-published posts. I also continue to work as quickly as I can to ensure that I will be able to keep my promise to publish the apostolic milestone updates in two posts this weekend, in addition to hopefully being able to post my April 2019 General Conference predictions by no later than Monday December 17, but certainly before then if all goes well. Stay tuned for all of that, as I look forward to your feedback.
That does it for this post. Any and all comments are, as always, welcome and appreciated, on any post at any time, as long as such feedback is given in accordance with the established guidelines. 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.

Further Church News and Temple Development Noted
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! The Church News reported around 20 minutes ago that Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf was the featured speaker at the Fall 2018 Graduation Ceremony for BYU-Hawaii. Coincidentally, his assignment to speak was on the same day he and his wife were marking their 56th wedding anniversary. More information on what he said during his address can be found at the web address below:

In the meantime, one additional temple update has been provided: at the Raleigh North Carolina Temple, while the stone cladding continues on the exterior walls, temporary glass has been installed in the windows. I continue to monitor all such developments and will do my level best to bring word of those to you all here as I receive it. Thanks again, everyone!
