I wonder if it will be Manhattan style where they buy an existing building and convert it to a temple?

maybe even a Masonic lodge, making the retrofitting much simpler.

A Moroni should look very good on top of this.

Religion rises inevitably from our apprehension of our own death. To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion. When death becomes the center of our consciousness, then religion authentically begins. Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.

my neighbor is the creator of the virtual temples around the world. He basically takes the designs/drawings and turns them into a 3D walk-through version.

Charlotte is snubbed again. Won't anyone think of all the poor Banker Saints? Haven't they gone through enough?

You'd think Christofferson could do something for us.

Word. I was hoping for a Richmond/Charlottesville, VA temple. I hate driving up to Chevy Chase.

The cost of feeding and caring for a horse is going up, however. Have you loked into the price of hay these days?

It's a perfect storm for horses this year.

No US slaughterhouses, bad economic times, surging feed costs. Horses can be got for free.

Now if only land was free, I would be set.
