Spires from a different viewpoint





Went by and looked at the progress of the building and the frame or base for the spire is set. and the front of the building has a wall. It's really coming together. It looks like all of the heating and cooling ductwork is on site just waiting to be installed.
Seeing the beginnings of the "spire" reminds me of an incident with my little four year old grandson when he and his mommy were doing errands in the car in Utah and was going through several different neighborhoods, thus passing by a lot of different meetinghouses, churches and even the temple. So when he saw the temple, he said to his mommy: "there are temples in every city, huh Mom?" his mommy told him that there were many temples all over the world but that they weren't in every city. Well, she could almost hear the wheels turning in his head when he asked: "Well churches look like temples, huh Mom?" She replies that they were sort of alike because they both have spires. He then said very emphatically: "Yes they do, huh Mom?"
Then there was silence for a while and then he said.........."Mom, do I even know what a spire is?"

I guess I'll never see another spire without thinking of that. Love that little guy.
