It’s a Part of Our Culture

There are distinctive characteristics in all groups and cultures that help to separate or distinguish it from others. For instance, as Latter-day Saints there are many things we do that make us unique from other religions. I don’t need to get into it; you already know what they are. For the sport minded individual, basketball would be etched on that list as it’s just as much a part of our culture as green Jello and carrots.

Yesterday’s answer:

c.   A man falling off of the scaffolding at the temple

During construction of the Manti Temple, master mason Edward L. Parry had a dream in which he saw a workman fall off of some scaffolding. Bothered by the dream, Brother Parry immediately arose and went to the temple site and noticed a very important support rope that had broken free of the scaffolding. Because of his obedience to this warning no one was hurt.
