Idaho Falls

This lovely picture is more to me than a vibrant photograph of a lovely building. As many of you know, and as a few may not yet know, I'm a Mormon, meaning that I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I believe in Jesus Christ, that He is the Savior of the world, and that families are to be together forever. It's awesome stuff, and I share this so that y'all can understand where I'm coming from. I don't intent anything I do to be a religious lecture or sermon, but I very much hope that my belief in God and Christ is reflected in the artistic work I do. One of the tenants of our faith reads, in part, "if there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report, or praiseworthy, we seek after these things." That's really what I'm gunning for.

This is one of the Mormon Temples, found in Idaho Falls. I went on an expedition with my family to visit this building. My grandparents were sealed, or married for both time and eternity, in this temple. They came with us, so it was a great experience, 45 years later, for them to re-visit this sacred place with a branch of their less-than-immediate family.

Aesthetically, the building is beautiful. I like the picture, and I think it speaks for itself. Enjoy!
