I did an endowment for Joe Raulerson in the 8:15 session this morning. Joe is one of Willyne's ancestors. she and her mother Floryne did his research. What a blessing to go to the temple for him today.
This was my first time in the Redlands Temple. I love the spirit here and in all temples. I love the local scenes that are so skillfully painted here, and in many of the temples.
I often like reading the scriptures and praying after a temple session. The scriptures were all in use today, so I pondered our stake theme carefully ...
"Organize yourselves, prepare every needful thing, and establish a house, even a house of prayer, a house of fasting, a house of faith, a house of learning, a house of glory, a house of God.
"O ye that embark in the service of God, see that ye serve him with all of your heart, might, mind, and strength, that ye may stand blameless before God at the last day.
"Therefore, if ye have desires to serve God ye are called to the work: To warn, expound, exhort, and teach, and invite all to come unto Christ."
There is so much meaning, and so much good counsel, in every word and every phrase. And the temple is just to place to ponder that!
