What to do?

Ok so I just read a great article that eased my mind and heart about an issue that is close to my heart. Apparently HBO plans to show the sacred cerimony that is performed in the temple. What a crazy thing first of all. I know non-members and even some members may be curious as to what goes on inside and why we don't talk abou it. The reason is because it's God's house and it is holy and I believe sacred things shouldn't be talked about like the weather.
Here's the link to the article

Also I am reminded by a quote by Joseph Smith
The standard of truth has been errected no unhallowed hand will stop the work from progressing. Persecusions my rage, mobs may combline armies may assemble calumny may defame. But the truth will go forth boldly, nobly and independent. Until it has penetrated every contentent, visited every cline,swept every country and sounded in every ear till the purposes of God shall be accomplished and the great Jehovah shall say the work is done!!!

I'm sorry if this sounds preachy and like I'm on a soap box but I do have a testimony of the Church of Jesus Christ. I love my savior and am so thankful for his mercy and love. May we all live our lives to mirror him.
I love you all

"the work is done"...naps for everyone! Thanks for posting that. And I think you're right. "No unhallowed hand will stop the work from progressing." Sometimes we forget that. Thanks for helping us remember.
