This post is designed for all my friends and family who are not LDS. You may, or may not be aware that the the president of my church, the Church of Jesus Chirst of Latter Day Saints died last Sunday. He has been a leader of our church since 1995, and thus has been the only president I have seen since I was baptised "mormon" in 2000. For members and non-members of the church a-like Gordon B. Hinkley has been an inspiring man. No matter who you are, you can not help deny the calmness he could bring over you. Even President Bush presented him with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian honor in 2004.
In tribute to one of the men who have inspired me most. I would like to provide you with one of my favorite Hinckley quotes.
"My plea is that we stop seeking out the storms and enjoy more fully the sunlight. I am suggesting that as we go through life we 'accentuate the positive.' I am asking that we look a little deeper for the good, that we still our voices of insult and sarcasm, that we more generously compliment and endorse virtue and effort."
