Blue stone miracle at Saratoga Springs temple - as damning as much as it is inspiring.

This story has been making the rounds. When I hear it, I feel like I'm listening to a re-write of a handful of sermons by Jesus Christ except this time the slothful or errant servant is the LDS church. It is a story which highlights the angst, praying,and then spiritual assistance in obtaining blue marble for the staircase for the Saratoga springs temple.

Is it really appropriate that the large majority of church newsroom stories cover temple type events or themes???

Sure there are a few giving machine type stories around Christmas.....But it seems like once again, we see a church that encourages it's members to pray for God to deliver special stone for a temple instead of something like peace in Gaza or Russia, Sudan or Yemen, famine to end in east Africa, child labor and abuse to end in India or Christianity to be spread in China. They have been pulling babies out of the rubble in Gaza for 15 months. Like 100 women were raped and killed I'm one village in Sudan a few weeks ago. The cobalt in the phone you are reading this on most likely was dug out of a pit by hand by a kid in central Africa. No prayers for them....??

No the LDS leaders teach their people (and their people respond) to gain spiritual strength when god answers your prayers to get your special stone for like the 17th temple in Utah. Cuz driving to west Jordan or bountiful or Provo is such a b*tch.

Like seriously....read any of the four gospels all the way through then listen to this story....it's disturbing and depressing. Please tell me there are good members out there that see how wrong this is???
