Tribute to Gordon B. Hinckley

Tomorrow is the funeral for President Gordon B. Hinckley. As many of you may know, he was the president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and he passed away this week. Whether or not you are a member of this church, or believe him to be a prophet or not, Gordon B. Hinckley, was a good person who inspired many to better their lives. With his death, the world has lost a fabulous, humble man who wanted only to help enrich the lives of others.

Glenn Beck had a short commentary on his show regarding President Hinckley this week. And whether or not you like Glenn Beck as a person or not, his words capture some of the emotion many felt when they learned of the death of this great man. The video can be seen by clicking here.

I add my respect and admiration of this man to that of millions of others. Not just because I believe him to be a prophet of God, but because he lived his life as I wish to live mine. It's really as simple as that.
