Ogden Temple

So, I guess you could say my Temple Trip has already started...with the Utah Ogden Temple. Here are some photos for your perusal. There may be an overabundance of the Ogden Temple as it is right in my backyard (or front yard). Enjoy :)

My Thoughts for the Day...

I don't know if any of you have seen "Rigoletto" but it is an amazing movie with an even better soundtrack. Anyway, two of my favorite songs from the soundtrack were on my mind today, so I came home, found them on You Tube, and then posted them here for you all. One thing I really like about these two songs is how they are connected (if you have seen the movie, you know what I mean). Also, if you listen closely to "The Melody Within", after the musical interlude, you can hear the melody of "The Curse". It's amazing what love can do for ourselves and for other people. Anyway, there are my thoughts for the day. Enjoy the songs!
