I wept when I learned of this sad news. Is something amiss
in the Church, that the Lord would allow one of his temples
to be destroyed?

It is sad, but I seriously doubt anything unusual is amiss.
I think there was a construction accident.

For an answer I would have to look to God and the prophet. When I listen
to President Hinckley, I hear a very positive message. I have to assume
that each one of us must seek confirmation of that message from God that
we are a righteous people and have favor in His eyes.

I think the church as a whole is paying a lot more attention to the Book of
Mormon. I can't say what was happening before I joined it but I see a lot
of emphasis on it. Failure to read it on an individual basis is not a
collective matter.

into the forest for a day and night of prayer. There are a number of

All right. Let's get practical. If one hasn't the temple marriage one
wants I suppose it's fruitless to even try for anything like this. But if

I watched a special on the biblical David last night on PBS. (By the

I think you're right probably. In the long run the work for the dead for a
nonmember doesn't count for much because it's always guesswork whether
anything ever happens in the spirit world.
