What's In This Blog

I created this blog for my journal. I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In this blog I keep many of the things I come across as a member of the church. I also share my experiences on the ACE Train and getting to work, my experiences in Manteca where we have lived for three years, and other things I think are noticeable.

Elko Temple, Elko, Nevada

 The Elko Temple is the third temple in Nevada after Las Vegas and Reno.  When sheri and I werte first married we lived in Duckwater which is a two and a half hours south of Elko; so likely this temple would have been our temple.  When we lived there Saint George was the assigned temple.




The symbol on the windows is called the window of heaven.

 The Christmas Devotional of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was presented in the small theater at the Conference Center so the music provided by the Tabernacle Choir was recorded earlier.  Even so it was very nice and added to the devotional.  Speakers included President Henry B Eyring, President Jeffrey R. Holland, President Susan H. Porter (primary) and President Timothy L. Farnes (young men)

Light the World CHristmas Video 2025

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has released the video for Light the World 2025.  This is very nice as it combines scenes from the Bible video of the birth of baby Jesus and a children's pageant.  
I was moved to tears at several points; especially when the wiseman sees Jesus.
