Strange sequence of events for this week's video.
Two weeks ago, I was invited to speak at a Book of Mormon Rally near Independence, Missouri. The area is surrounded by Restoration churches because of a vacant plot of land. In August 1831, Joseph Smith as prophet dedicated this site with original marker stones to build a Temple in the City of Zion where its believed Christ will come to His people during the Last Days.
Some time after the dedication, the Saints were forced out of Missouri by governor's extermination order. After Joseph Smith was killed and leadership became divided, a group led by Granville Hedrick bought the "Temple Lot" and started the Church of Christ. Though small to other Latter-day cousins, it's incredibly resilient. They tried to build the Temple in the 1920's, but the Great Depression halted all progress.
Sounded nuts when I first learned of this, though the 'church nerd' inside me found this interesting.
After getting baptized last week as a new member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, it was odd coming across five cardinals that morning (which has been an ongoing coincidence for me the last two years).
Sunday at dawn, I woke up to the sounds of a cardinal chirping outside my hotel window.
Sign maybe?
It prompted me to drive to the Temple Lot that early morning. Upon arriving, sure enough, a red cardinal was in one of the trees right next to this sacred land. I ran across a gentleman who frequents the Temple Lot at dawn, and learned they're quite common in the morning. This unique turn of events led to a congregation of two with cardinals flying and perching in the Temple Lot trees on more than one occasion.
Before I left, he told about an interesting folklore about the land, long before Joseph Smith arrived. The story is way out there, so make of it what you want.
Either way, my continuing cardinal connection with the Temple Lot that morning was curious to say the least. This has to be the end of it.
