Thank you for the personal validation Parrot. I have stated here in the past that I had these intense cravings for a soft serve ice cream cone while visiting Independence, but got no love from this crowd.

It was an interesting tour though. However, All of the $$ drop boxes situated throughout the building didn't do a whole lot to promote a reverent atmosphere.

Wow... Talk about predictable...

Grew up in Bountiful
1- Salt Lake
2- Bountiful
3- Jordan River

Went to the MTC
4- Provo

Went on a Mission
5- Mexico City

Came Home and attended various weddings
6- Manti
7- Logan
8- Ogden
9- St. George

Moved to Pocatello, ID
10- Idaho Falls

Moved to Moscow, ID
11- Spokane

There is the posibility that I've been to another temple but it wouldn't be anything too exciting, probably Mt. Timp or Las Vegas.

Been in:

Ogden
Provo
Salt Lake
Jordan River
Washington D.C.
Tokyo

Been to:

Atlanta
Hawaii
Frankfurt
Manti
St. George
Logan
Las Vegas
Nauvoo

Seen from a distance:

Bountiful
Los Angeles
Idaho Falls

When Mrs. myboynoah and I starting see each other, she was not LDS. On a day trip to Atlanta while visiting her, I wanted to stop by the Atlanta Temple just to check it out, it being one of the few operating temples "back east" at the time. We found it and were disappointed that there was no visitor's center. As we sat there in the parking lot, the future Mrs. myboynoah naively suggested that she would wait in the car if I wanted to go in the temple to worship. I guess she thought it was just a matter of lighting a few candles and saying some prayers.

Boy was she ever surprised a little over a year later when she took out her endowments and we were sealed in Utah.

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.
