Homeward-Bound

General Conference Retrospective

Elder Soares refers to being home-centered, church-supported, and temple-bound. Catchy phrase.  Let’s consider it a little.

The temple is a heavenly ascent rite that culminates in being welcomed to heaven and then taking your place as king and queen in doing his work. So temple-bound ultimately means ‘heaven-bound.’

Home-centered, church-supported, heaven-bound.

Temple-bound also means marriage-bound and therefore making-a-home bound, and there we come full circle.
