My blog is generally focused on very non-personal things, today I am going to stray from that. This past Sunday evening, Jan. 27, 2007 a great man passed from this life, Gordon B. Hinckley, President and Prophet of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
I recall as a young boy when President Hinckley was called into the leadership of the First Presidency of my Church, he was in his 70’s and humorously commented that at his age the youth were starting to help with the leadership. What a lesson that was, that humor and spirituality can live hand in hand. While many will remember his for his sharp wit, I will remember his for his tireless work ethic. He was 97 years old at his passing and he never slowed down.
The only change I ever saw in him over the years was in 2004 when his sweet companion passed on. He would smile a little less, but you could always see in his eyes a twinkle of his wife.
I have read and watched numerous tributes to him over the past few days, one in particular has really struck a cord in my heart and that is the tribute from radio and TV personality Glen Beck, take a look…
