Our Beloved Prophet

I think this is such a great picture. (If only President Bush had made more visits seeking his counsel :) "President George W. Bush said on Monday he was deeply saddened by Hinckley's death, adding that he had "the heart of a servant and the wisdom of a leader ... a tireless worker and a talented communicator who was respected in his community and beloved by his congregation."" (read the full article here)

Our wonderful prophet will most certainly be missed, but I can't help but think that his wife, the woman of his dreams as he called her, is no longer that. What a beautiful reunion.

I also love what President Hinckley told Mitt Romney about his White House bid-

Romney told reporters in West Palm Beach, Florida, that Hinckley was "a man of great character and courage" and "one of the great leaders in our faith."

He said he had spoken to Hinckley as he mulled a campaign for the White House and "he smiled and said it would be a great experience if you won and a great experience if you lost."

Our Responsibility As Children of God
“Brothers and sisters, tremendous is our responsibility and great and marvelous is our opportunity as sons and daughters of God. Every one of us is a child of God. We know that. Let us never forget that we are children of God at all times and in all circumstances and in all conditions and in all environments in which we might find ourselves and that there is never a time or a season or a circumstance when we can let down on our standards” (Smithfield-Logan, Utah, regional conference, 21 Apr. 1996).
