Repetition and pattern are but two of the tools that the Lord uses to teach us and guide us along in our eternal journey. This is the south facing side of the Nauvoo Illinois Temple, taken before dawn.
The opportunity before us to receive the ordinances of salvation for ourselves and our ancestors is nothing short of incredible. The Ogden Utah LDS Temple.
I felt a palpable spirit at this special place, Nauvoo, Illinois, when I took this photo. I felt strongly the echoes of history and the truth of the work of the Lord, revealed so clearly and directly to the Prophet Joseph Smith, while I was here. Speaking of Joseph and Hyrum Smith, "He lived great, and he died great in the eyes of God and his people; and like most of the Lord’s anointed in ancient times, has sealed his mission and his works with his own blood; and so has his brother Hyrum. In life they were not divided, and in death they were not separated!" —Doctrine & Covenants 135:3
