Our trip to the open house for the refurbished LDS temple in Ogden, Utah

Walkin' ...


















Front-runnin' ...














This town's not so bad!





























There it is:











































Some makeover!  This new temple is very beautiful.  At the end of the tour was the Celestial Room.  An older man came in behind us.  He probably hadn't visited a temple before.  His eyes widened, and brightened.  "My hell!" he said. Slightly shocking, maybe, in this setting.  Inapt, too, and pretty funny.  We noticed, though, how carefully and reverently he looked around, after that.  As we thought and talked later, we figured that there are all sorts of experiences and perspectives.  Given this guy's, he'd come up with as acceptable and wonderful a devotional expression as can be imagined.
