"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."

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."

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

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.

"God does rain down upon all His children all the blessings He can—all the blessings that love and law and justice and mercy will permit. And He commands us to be likewise generous...Nevertheless, God’s greater blessings are conditioned on obedience."

Let There Be Light
Sunrise this morning at the Mount Timpanogos LDS Temple.
"And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day."
