President Gordon B. Hinckley 1910-2008

Be grateful, Be smart, Be clean, Be true, Be humble, Be prayerful.
I remember sitting at the fireside, listening to President Hinckley speak these words. He truly emulated everything which he taught and testified and I feel so blessed to have been able to learn from his words. He was an example to all. May we all live our lives so that our return to our Father in Heaven can be as glorious as I'm sure his reunion was.

How true all of that is. What a wonderful man. Look up the song, "I can only imagine" (country song). The DJ today played it today in remembrance of our beloved prophet and I had a moment to just sit and listen to it and the words took completely different meaning. It is beautiful.

I love that you were able to hear him speak at a fireside. His messages of acceptance and love for those different from ourselves always made me realize why I am a member of this church even though I am so imperfect.
He will be greatly missed.

I hope we can all BE everything he taught and was. He was definitely the prophet for our time and glad that he was able to provide leadership and common sense voice that was needed in the world.
