Over the past several years I have witnessed the dedication of several temples. I suspect that many of you have also. Our wonder and awe were renewed at what is happening in the world. When my oldest child was 4, he could name by sight every temple built in this dispensation, including the Nauvoo and Kirtland Temples. Now there are probably less than five people in the Church who could accomplish such a feat. I have a painting in my office that shows 55 temples in one frame!

I was once introducing myself to a couple coming for marital therapy, and the husband, who I will call Joe, did a strange thing. We shook hands and he slipped a folded paper in my palm. We made our way to the couches, and, feeling like I was in a spy movie, I snuck the note into the pile of paperwork and glanced at his scrawled message: “Need to meet with you alone, without Lynnette. Confidential!!!”
