So here in Utah especially the passing of the Church of Jesus Christ of Later-day Saints' 15th president and prophet has caused no small stir. Everywhere I go there are flags at half-mast, including a car dealership here in Provo, and I'm talking ALL the flags! There must have been like 40 around the lot on little poles, but the dealers took time enough to go through and put them ALL at half-mast!
Across the country within the LDS circles, and sometimes without, kids were dressing in their 'Sunday' best in honor of President Hinckley accoding to a local Utah newspaper I believe this went all over the US as per my understanding.
National CNN reporter Glenn Beck even put a small exerpt on his show about Pres Hinckley.
With the publication of the book "Standing for Something" President Hinckley said to the world, "Hey let's take control of our own lives, and thus make this earth a better place for all!"
What a shining example of a Man of God following our Savior's teaching found in both the Bible and the Book of Mormon!
(New Testament | Matthew 5:16)
- Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
(Book of Mormon | 3 Nephi 12:16)
- Therefore let your light so shine before this people, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
