A Return to Virtue

I love the General Young Women's President. She offers great counsel. As we are preparing to usher in the building of our own temple in this area, there is much we need to do.

She reminds us to "return to virtue". It is the way to prepare ourselves spiritually to enter into His Holy House.

This counsel not only applies to our youth but to all.

The new LDS website for youth is amazing. I have spent a lot of time perusing it's contents to give me counsel on how to help our youth. Go to www.youth.lds.org

This site is filled with videos and links to so many resources that are uplifting and inspiring. I can't think of a better thing for our kids to be doing with their internet time then surfing this site.

There is a place on this site to go to share your comments regarding what "we can do to maintain virtue in this increasingly wicked world."

Sis. Dalton gives an excellent analogy in this month's New Era, on how we can change and return to virtue. To read her article, go here.

Big things will be happening at the temple lot soon. Let's let big things happen in our own lives as we "return to virtue".

Snow Plowed

It was beautiful but cold and snowy at the temple lot today.....

Snow and cold temps didn't keep them from being productive.

I hope to hear of a ground breaking date soon!

A Facelift for a Temple

Ogden Temple and Tabernacle after facelift....

See here for the article.

Not official

I'm not removing my artist rendering of the temple from my blog but I am letting you know that this is picture is not "official". Platte City Stake says they have no knowledge of this picture being released.

I think that is interesting since the first printed picture I found of it was in the Platte City Stake Center. Oh well.

I hope this picture is accurate though. It is beautiful.

My prayer is that we will have some information soon.

Hello Maryville Chasers

It was nice to meet some fellow Chasers in Maryville this weekend. Chasing is contagious. I was thinking about them yesterday and the distance they will have to travel to this temple. I think it will be almost the same distance for them to come here to KC as it is to Omaha. It's incredible to me how large our stake boundaries are.

Hello, Merryville....or Maryville!

Just thinking about you today.
