As I go throughout my daily living, I’m interested whenever I come upon something that reminds me of the temple.  It could be as simple as something that recalls a temple ordinance, a principle that is taught in the temple, or even the temple architecture.  As I read today in Runner’s World magazine, the story “Moving Comfort,” from the February 2011 issue, had an impression on me.

A little background.  I’m a runner.  I started running back in June of 2009, and have only stopped occasionally for sickness or injury (got the flu once, probably H1N1, and Achilles tendinitis).  Since that time I’ve logged 723 miles in 193 runs, and just recently surpassed 100,000 calories burned.  Last year I ran the Utah Valley Half Marathon in 2:06, and am planning on the Shamrock Half Marathon next month, and hopefully the Utah Valley Marathon in June.

BYU-Idaho Alumni Magazine Highlights the Temple

Rexburg Idaho Temple

Rexburg Idaho Temple

Our friend Ferreira has pointed out that the Spring 2009 issue of the BYU-Idaho Alumni Magazine has a temple theme, and is entitled “In the Shadow of a Temple.” Having just recently received a temple of their own, the new Rexburg Idaho Temple, they thought it appropriate to dedicate this issue on temple themes.

The issue includes reprints of some great articles from Val R. Christensen (Rexburg Temple President), the late Truman G. Madsen, Kim B. Clark (President of BYU-Idaho), Leon Parson (one of the mural painters for the Rexburg Temple), and Elder John H. Groberg, among others.

It looks like a fantastic issue about the temple.  I look forward to reading this.  You can see the list of articles here:

Thanks Ferreira!
