Jazz and I stopped by the LDS Baton Rouge Temple. Jasmine said that it was beautiful. I agree. It is only a few miles from the hotel that I manage in Baton Rouge so is easy for me to get over to when I have a bit of time to myself.





Just in case you are curious what the difference is with the LDS temples and the LDS churches that we go to




















What is the difference between attending church and the temple?

Our churches are dedicated public places of worship where Mormons and visitors can meet to pray, study scripture, partake of the sacrament, and continue to learn their responsibilities as children of God. The temple is literally, as it has been throughout history, the "House of the Lord" (see 1 Kings 6:1, 37). The primary purpose of the temple is to provide a dedicated place where sacred ordinances needed for eternal life can be preformed. Because of its sacred nature, attendance in the temple is limited to Mormons who obey God's commandments and therefore are worthy to enter.
