Taylorsville Utah Temple

I was there peeking through the fence
as they started this temple.

The Taylorsville Temple looks like it will take
a long time to build!

I'm not really flying, so it is okay, right?

Do you ever do things like this?
We say things like, "I'm not really breaking a rule . . ."
Sometimes when we do that, we are justifying
things we know we really should not be doing.

Knock that off!

                               

It must take a lot of people to build a temple this big!

I guess I'll just hang around until it is done.

And, I'm baaaaaack!
That didn't take nearly as long as I thought it would.

This is a majestic temple!
I'm so glad I got to see it come together.
It reminds me that worthwhile things take work.
And time.

It wouldn't be a temple without celestial flowers!

I bet they have flowers like this in heaven!

We should remember that lots of people worked hard to plant, 
tend, water, and nurture these beautiful blooms.

Sometimes we forget to be grateful for the work
and the workers that we don't see.

I appreciate the people who keep the temple
grounds always looking so beautiful!

This temple is near the freeway. 
I've been told that the temple is a wonderful
place to go to get away from the cares (and cars)
of this world, and to remember what really matters.

I've only been inside one temple,
but I love to see the stained
glass doors and windows.

This is like having my own private
meditation garden.

I can feel the spirit of the temple, even when 
I'm just outside on the grounds!

I'm glad they remind us when the temples were built.
I've been to over eighty temples now, and I'm pretty
sure I would not remember all those dates.
