President Hinckley Passed away, Praise to the Man!

Well President Gordon B. Hinckley passed away yesterday evening around 7 pm in his Salt Lake home with his family surrounding him. This is history being made right before our eyes. Like most, Pres. Hinckley was the prophet for the majority of mine and Mike's life. We have grown up listening to the humorous way that gentle man would tell us to live our life so that we might have joy and that we might fulfill our true purpose here on this earth. He was truly an amazing man, and was loved by many of all faiths. I just love watching the tributes they make to that humble man, the traveling he did to visit the members through out the world. The vision he saw of making temple attendance a possibility for members everywhere. The hearts that he filled with his hope and testimony, the truth that he spoke was heard and shared by millions.

What an amazing man and how great a loss. Truly he will be missed but i think, and i believe many will agree with me, that he is truly in a better place, he returned to his loving eternal sweetheart, Mrs. Marjorie Pay Hinckley, and I'm sure with out a doubt that he was willingly received with open and loving arms by his Heavenly father. I'm sure he Saw that Great Man Brother Joseph Smith and expressed his love for him those whom he loved that passed before.

You know as i listened to the reports on TV, there was a similar theme among the reporters, aside from the great loss of a man with huge accomplishments and remarkable character they were surprised to see that there weren't many tears of sadness but that most people were very joyful. They attributed this to the fact that he lead a great life and service, but i think that those who were joyful knew the real secret, He isn't gone forever, never to be seen, lost to the depths of the earth... He lives he leads and is living in a place that needs him more, he is up there serving with our heavenly father, he is teaching and still finishing the work that was being done here on this earth, he is still saving souls and bringing them to the truth. He lives! and We will see him again! He has a great work to do! PRAISE TO THE MAN!
