Yesterday, the Kansas City Missouri Planning and Zoning Committeeheard the proposals being put forth to allow for construction of theKansas City Missouri Temple, an adjoining meetinghouse, and 140 residential units on the designated 56-acre site. The Committee unanimously passed the proposals to the City Council with thefollowing recommendations: (1) Shoal Creek Valley Area Plan amendment: Immediate Adoption(2) Rezoning Ordinance: Advance and Do Pass, Debate(3) Community Unit Project: Advance and Do Pass, Debate The City Council meets on these issues today. It has final authorityin the Plan amendment. The other two ordinances, however, will pass tothe City Plan Commission for final approval.

I love seeing the Lord's work move forward and can't wait for groundbreaking. One of the other pieces of info I am excited about is the adjoining meetinghouse! Our area is growing by leaps and bounds...the stone is rolling forth!

Being in Utah has been wonderful and has made me even more excited for construction to begin.

Kansas City, here I come.

Shout Out

Thanks to the Bloggernacle at Mormon Times for the Shout Out...love you too.


I'm still waiting for photos people...
I know you're going over there.
Come on.
Take a picture...it lasts longer....

Call Out

I have an idea of something to keep us busy while we wait for our temple....still waiting you know. There isn't a week that doesn't go by that I don't drive over and check out the temple lot still. A couple of nights ago a friend of mine from high school and her family stopped by for a visit on their way from Alabama to Utah. I gave them directions to the temple lot so they could check it out. They mentioned they would like to take a picture of their family there and it occurred to me...why not have EVERYONE take a picture there and send it to me? So, there you have it...my new chase....

Go to the temple lot...take a picture of yourself, your family, your pets...whatever you want and email it to me. In the subject line, please type....Temple Lot Photo...and I'll submit it here on the blog. Be sure to include your family's name and where you are from, without giving away too many details. Let's see how many photos we can get!
Go here to find out where the temple will be and take your picture. Go on!

Go here to reserve your tickets for the open house!!

I wish I was posting that the Kansas City Temple Open House was being announced. Sadly, I can't even tell you when ground will be broken. I still check....always.

No news...

which is not good news. I was hoping by now that I would see some earth movement going on at the temple lot. So far, as of noon yesterday...there's not.
But, the weather is beautiful now...so that's good news!

University of Spirituality

"The temple is the place to grow in understanding of those principles of honesty, Elder Busche observed. 'Temples have been erected as houses of the Lord. They are standing ready to serve as instruments to our own gradual awakening on our inevitable road to eternity.'"
Elder Busche of the First Quorum of the Seventy and president of the Frankfurt Germany Temple

I can't wait to attend the "University" here in Kansas City!

A sad day

It's a sad day but an inevitable one too.

The green chair is gone.

There goes my front row seat.

I guess I'll be bringing a chair with me from now on.

I will miss my friend.
