We Celebrate, then Dedicate a new Temple

Saturday we celebrated, then Sunday we dedicated the new Temple.












It looks like Angel Moroni is blowing a hole into the clouds on what started as a foggy day for the dedication.












Going to inspect the cornerstone.
















Here are some links below to articles about the cultural celebration and dedication of the new Rexburg temple. If you paste the link into a browser you can open the articles too. I viewed them with great interest.

We know the two boys in the red sweaters and woman holding the sign. We also know 1 of the 4 men in the fur coats and 2 of the girls dressed in white, standing in line.

Celebrate then Dedicate a Temple

2000 Youth Performed in a Cultural Event Celebrating the Completion of a Temple by singing, dancing, playing instruments, etc. In the finale children dressed in white as if coming to the temple came carrying sheaves of wheat, representing the safely gathered in harvest. A temple shifts the power between good and evil. We feel its shift and are grateful for it.

We heard and met Glenn Beck tonight!

We had a chance to hear Glenn Beck, #3 radio talk show host, speak and tell about his conversion to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. His conversion story was incredible and if you know Glenn Beck -- entertaining. His acceptance of the atonement and dedication and devotion to his temple covenants -- a complete 180 for him are inspiring. You can find out more about him at www.glennbeck.com.

A friend sent me a link to an 8 minute interview about his conversion, which tells the short version. It's a great interview and a good one to watch. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKtAPT9KEfM

As far as his radio talk show and CNN tv show, he says he is simply a seeker of truth regarding any issue and most recently issues like Muslims, global warming, the border and so on.
