Trying to Abide (Part 4)

"If you have reasonable access to a temple, I urge you to find a way to make an appointment regularly with the Lord—to be in His holy house—then keep that appointment with exactness and joy. I promise you that the Lord will bring the miracles He knows you need as you make sacrifices to serve and worship in His temples.” Russell M. Nelson

I am still focusing on the wonder and amazement of how the Prophet is gathering us to safety and peace and protection and refuge.  There are books written, untold volumes, on all 3 of the subjects/topics that I feel impressed to embrace and understand.  This last one of those 3 (Temples) is my wrap up on 25 and 84.  It's interesting to me that this is where I've been led but I won't question those prompts...I've checked the two sections and now onward to 107!
