There is a quiet place

Provo Temple

"There is a quiet place. 

A place where my heart can go 

far from the waves of doubt and darkness of storms that blow. 

Gently it holds me safe in heaven's arms. 

Surely this feeling is peace."

Temples are a BLESSING. 

I just finished writing a reflection paper about role of the temple in ancient Jerusalem and how that applies to my life.

After writing my paper, I am reminded that the temple is truly one of the greatest blessings we have on earth. What better place to escape the mental and emotional demons that cloud us each day? What better place can remind us of God's love and compassion for his children? I'm not sure I've ever realized the blessings of a temple-worthy lifestyle, or how fortunate it is to be able to participate in the temple. I mean, I always knew that that's how I should live, but I'm just now starting to connect the dots.

"Let your heart therefore be perfect with the Lord our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at this day." -- 1 Kings 8:61

I love to see the temple, and I AM GOING there someday.
