the holy spirit ..." Well, we had the blessing of visiting yet another temple now. Our family goal continues - to share in service where ever we go. This is our family in the visitors centre of the Los Angeles Temple (March 24 2011). There is such constancy and a sense of continuity through out the temples of the world, and thus the effect of eternity can be felt within its hallowed walls. Feeling the nail marks is a reminder of the agony and pain yet the blessings for mankind in His suffering. Past documented accounts show us that our greatest learning experiences are through hurt, suffering and opening our selves up to others and what they may bring into our lives. These are the most profound times of challenge and learning and we should not avoid or shun them. See them as a challenge rather than an obstacle - there is so much good to be had if we but fulfil our destiny as children of God in a positive and resourceful way. Take time for self analysis and don't be quick to assume condemnation and/or judgement where there is none intended.
