I heard Pres. Monson say Idaho but the kids were being rowdy so I didn't hear the city. I assumed Coeur d'Alene or somewhere in the panhandle but a few minutes later my Mother-in-Law called to talk about it. We were surprised because the Boise temple is so close.Originally posted by Eddie Jones View PostNew temples:

I told my wife we really have no excuse for not attending now. The Boise temple is only about 10 minutes away--who knows how close the Meridian temple will be (I'm guessing it will be farther west so it may be just as far or farther from my house as the Boise temple)."Seriously, is there a bigger high on the whole face of the earth than eating a salad?"--SeattleUte

I hope it's farther west. My inlaws would appreciate that since they currently drive 1 hour to Boise.Originally posted by Lost_Student View Post"Discipleship is not a spectator sport.

Why is it that Mormonism in practice seems so different than General Conference talks? I hear these talks and then I think of stuff like the Davie's incident, Prop 8, and the justice/fire and brimstone focus of so many Mormons and I don't get it."It's true that everything happens for a reason.

That's what it seems like to me. But then I have been slammed for saying that.Originally posted by LA Ute View Post"It's true that everything happens for a reason. Just remember that sometimes that reason is that you did something really, really, stupid."Comment

We likely don't change as quickly as we should. I wonder if we are the way we are because of past he'll-fire talks. It's clear the themes and delivery are more reduced nowadays.Originally posted by FMCoug View Post"Discipleship is not a spectator sport.
