This morning, Venita and I had the wonderful and memorable experience of going down to the Conference Center and attending Pres. Hinckley's viewing service. It was a very solemn experience and the feeling was that same warm, comforting feeling I believe we all felt when we heard of his passing. He was a great man who lived a great life. He truly LIVED a great life and created experiences rather than just living from day to day, accepting life and adjusting as it passed like so many of us. For Christmas this past season, we recieved a very nice stone slate that now stands on top of our entertainement center with the quote "Life is to be enjoyed, not just endured" -Gordon B. Hinckley. He was a perfect example of this as he was a man that lived what he believed. He will be greatly missed, but I know I'm not alone in the comfort that I take knowing who he is with and what will happen here with us. We are all in good hands and the church will continue to progress.
As we were getting ready this morning, Venita found this video on her sister's blog. I decided that it wouldn't hurt posting it here as well for those who haven't seen it. Glen Beck was already one of my favorite CNN political analysts but he scored some more brownie points with this one.
