Is it true that President Hinckley is in increasingly failing health? Any information?

I haven't heard anything new. He had some problems last year, but the last I heard, he was actually improving.

Did anyone catch the dedicatory prayer for the remodel of the Utah State Capitol a couple of weeks ago? He seemed to be having difficulty then.

He's suffering from a condition called being 97 years old. He's a tough old dude. I hope I can move around that well if I get even close to that age. I have a feeling the church is going to find themselves in another ETB quagmire if Hinckley continues to hang on past the century mark.

According to my sources The Lord told him he will see the day when 200'th Temple erected in Paris.

I had a feeling he'd be gone soon after his wife passed away, but yet he's still around and doing well for his age.

I think when you are 97 years old that 97 will be the new 50.

So if he's a No Show for the dedication of the temple in Rexburg on Feb. 3rd, should we read anything into that?

A temple in Paris? I suppose that the 100 or so active Mormons in France need their own place to wear funny clothes and particpate in cult-like rituals.

Did the Lord tell him whether there will be enough faithful members in Paris to even attend it regularly?
