Like all great temple trips, it starts with a good airfare. In this case it was $170 round-trip from Washington DC to Phoenix. The plan was pretty aggressive: arrive in Phoenix at 7:30 AM, visit the Snowflake, Gila Valley, and Tucson temples all in one

There’s a lot of healing that takes place inside a  temple owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, including spiritual healing, emotional healing, and even physical healing. Well apparently that healing also applies to the parking lot. For about 1200 miles on

It was about 190 miles from the Nashville Tennessee Temple to the Birmingham Alabama Temple. I arrived at about 2:30 and the first session wasn’t until 6 PM so we had a few hours to take a nap. I cleared out the area behind the
