Remembering Gordon B Hinckley

Our church has just announced the passing of President Gordon B Hinckley.

I am so, so sad. He is and was a wonderful, wonderful man and prophet of our church. My friend Monica just called me, knowing that we don't have TV in our house. I burst into tears, but I know that he is happily reunited with his beloved Marjorie. He has been the leader of our church for almost all of my married life. I knew he was called of God, that he led this church with competence and inspiration. He accomplished SO much. His testimony of Christ was firm and unwavering. He testified of Christ in a powerful way. He loves our Savior. He truly "walked the walk and talked the talk". I know that I will really miss him. I also know that he will leave a legacy and that as we follow his counsel, we will become better people, better spouses, better children, better neighbors and better Christians. The world just lost a great man - but wow - how the heavens must be rejoicing as he arrives.

oh thank you! We also do not have a tv, and I probably would not have heard for some time.....
He has been prophet nearly all of my adult life - since I was 19.

About Me

Welcome to our family blog! We appreciate you stopping in and reading about our family. Life is a journey in more ways than one.... this blog shares our joys and challenges with "homesteading" on just one acre in suburbia, raising a LARGE family, cooking, canning, gardening, adoption, waiting for the time to be right to move to the country (and preparing for that time), and finally, other musings of this mama's heart.
