"My Glory Shall Rest Upon It"

"And inasmuch as my people build a house unto me in the name of the Lord, and do not suffer any unclean thing to come into it, that it be not defiled, my glory shall rest upon it; "Yea, and my presence shall be there, for I will come into it, and all the pure in heart that shall come into it shall see God."

Where the Land Meets the Sea

Reflected light on seawater soaking into the sand at the beach.

When the Rains Came

"And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock."

Windows and Light

Open your windows, let the light in! Downtown Salt Lake City, Utah.

His House

This House belongs to Him. "One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to inquire in his temple. For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock."

Spring Rains

Entropy

In this realm where entropy rules, disuse is equal to disintegration. This rule applies to everything of this world, including our muscles, our minds, and our material possessions.

To Be Healed

"...as we participate in family history and temple work today, we...lay claim to "healing" blessings promised by prophets and apostles. ... When ordinances are performed on behalf of the deceased, God's children on earth are healed." — Elder Dale G. Renlund, April 2018

Mountain Light

Winter light can be the best light!

Steel on the Water

Downtown Chicago Illinois on a summer evening. Large cities fascinate me. I feel at the same time, both connected to them and the teeming life that exists therein, and disconnected from them

General Conference

For 171 years, the general conferences of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have been held in downtown Salt Lake City, Utah. This year, general conference was held remotely, via technology. This image, with the temple, the tabernacle, and a tree, represents to me the incredible legacy of these many conferences, where the words of the prophets of God have originated and been sent forth throughout the world. I love general conference! Captured in April 2019.
