Closer from my house then the office, I am moments away from going to Oak Cliff Temple. With an early morning and a great breakfast, I begin to go over my notes and prepare for the story ahead.
What is unique about these stories is the fact that numerous writers have went to all the places that I plan on going, so the task for me is to write something about a certain place that hasn’t been written before. From what type of ministries they offer, to programs that they offer the kids, some of my favorite stories tend to include what these ministries are doing in the summer.
Oak Cliff, despite it’s stereotype today, had a very strong and rich history. One of the thriving places back in 40s and 50s, Oak Cliff was like the “Dominion” or “Alamo Heights” of San Antonio. Over the years, things definitely changed, but one things that has remained pretty much the same is this church, Oak Cliff Temple.
Hopefully today as I go there, I will learn some new things, see some ministries in progress and be able to paint a picture that readers can see . . . stay tuned.
