CNN's Glenn Beck's Tribute to Pres. Gordon B. Hinckley

I watched this on another friend's blog and watching it brought me to tears. It's the first time I've cried since President Hinckley's death. My main emotion has been happiness for President Hinckley. Finally being able to be with his wife and for having lived such a great and true life. I guess I also felt secure in knowing that with his passing, a prophet, but not the Lord's voice and direction, were taken from the earth. It's a good feeling to know that another prophet has been prepared by the Lord and ready to become his mouth-piece. It's a good feeling to know that I am not lost, wondering what will happen next or how I'll make it through another day, but can feel sincere gratitute and appreciation for a wonderful man, example, testimony, and prophet and look forward with hope and gratitude for a new prophet representing the same person, our Savior. It's good in this turbulent world to have such a sure footing and knowledge. What a gift the gospel and a testimony are.

Thanks for passing along the video clip about President Hinckley. It was touching and inspiring. It made me remember that I did get the chance to shake his hand when he set my Dad apart as a sealer. What a tender memory. Mom
