Day 1 - Lubbock Temple

Photo of the Latter Day Saint temple in Lubbock, Texas.  As I start my 31 pictures in 31 days of August, I wasn't sure where I would start.  I compiled a long list of everything I wanted to take over the course of the month, and I completely overlooked the temple.  This morning I drove by and knew right away what should be my first picture to start this campaign.  The temple means so much to me, and having one so close is a blessing beyond words.  I don't often speak publicly about my faith, but I feel photos are a good way for me to express my thoughts and feelings.  The temple is a place where I can draw closer to my Heavenly Father.  It is the place where I was sealed to my wife for all time and eternity.  When I am outside the temple, I immediately feel it's powerful presence.  This truly is the house of the Lord.
