The Logan Temple has been an important, even hallowed, site in our lives. 

Mom and Dad were sealed there.

They have served for many years as temple workers and patrons

It was the first temple that I entered; it was where I did the first baptisms for the dead. Years later Lori and I with Dad officiating as the sealer, we were sealed there with our three girls [Jeff was born a few months later]

Next Tuesday will be the 25th anniversary of that sealing.

When one enters Cache Valley at night coming down Wellsville Canyon it is a very recognizable site across the valley.

I have designed this with the temple as being viewed from the east with those mountains in the background across the valley floor.

This is the first blue light/night painting that I have done - perhaps the last as it was very difficult to get even an approximate photograph.
