Each time, though, I get this tinge of suspicion that just taking my family there may be disrespectful to the owners. Could I dare ask a sister missionary to snap our picture :-)? I get the same little voice of Ms. Manners in my head when were invited to, say, a Baptist wedding, and I’ve turned down an invitation to visit a mosque for a similar reason. Is that even slimly warranted? I supposed it depends on the owners.
As we approached the temple, A didn’t help.
He said, “Ooo, Papa, look at the castle; it’s very big. Can we go in the castle?”
I just laughed and told him, no, it's closed.

If its any comfort for even one who goes inside the castle I still have to wonder if it's ok.
the answer that I have is...Yes. To me God's love transends even the narrow minded of us. beside poo-poo to them for such silliness.
By the way, A's comment so excellent. What a cheerful and wonderful outlook. The comment made me smile. :-)
One of my best dates ever was going to Temple Square to watch the lights... he and I refrained from holding hands until we left the square out of deferense to the crowds, but it was wonderful.
* sigh *
It was wonderful to have been somewhere I think is special ( as a believer and a castle-goer ) with someone I thought was special.
