Hello again, everyone! Among other projects on which I have worked this week, I took time to go back to the transcripts and videos from General Conference earlier this month, paying particular attention to the lengths of each address. Based on that further research, and on the fact that it appears likely that the November Ensign will be closer to 144 pages than the standard 128 pages for November editions of the Ensign in past years, I have revised, restructured, and updated my
previously-offered thoughts about what that table of contents might look like.
While I will include those updates below, I also wanted to note that I anticipate that the PDF edition of the November 2019 Ensign may be available to download online within 1.5 weeks or so, if not sooner. It is also worth noting that I am hoping to provide one other report between now and whenever I can report tomorrow on the groundbreaking for the Saratoga Springs Utah Temple, which, as I noted in an
earlier comment today, has been set to take place at 11:00 AM tomorrow morning.
Having noted that, my revised version of the possible table of contents for the November 2019 Ensign follows below. In order to not disturb the flow of that information, I will end here as I always do: That does it for now. Any and all comments are, as always, welcome and appreciated, on any post at any time, as long as such comments are made 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.

Post a Comment
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.
