The world feels full of heavy problems lately. In addition everything caused by the pandemic and now the protests, a good friend of my brother's family died in a bicycle accident not far from our house. She leaves a huge hole in her husband's and 5 children's lives. Then Saturday, the husband of a woman in my book group had a massive stroke and is now in the ICU.
Saturday for our date, Scott and I got some food from our favorite Mexican restaurant and then drove up to the temple to look at it while we ate. The temple is closed right now and will be until a solution is found for this coronavirus. I used to go just about every week and it was a place of peace for me. It was raining so we stayed in the car.
We went to the parking lot to the west of the temple and the interesting thing is that quite a few other people were there too, sitting in their cars and looking at the temple. We counted about 12 cars there at one point.
For me, the temple is a symbol of hope and faith in Christ. I feel hope that through the grace of Jesus Christ, I can return to live with God in a better world. And right now, I can feel peace no matter how badly things are going in the world.
