Standing for Something

Yesterday as I went on my daily blog rounds, I was touched by the many people who paid tribute to our beloved President Hinckley. How wonderful that one man could touch so many lives, could serve so many people, and for so long. What a remarkable ninety-seven-year tenure.

Last night, as Jess and I put together our new bookcase for our FHE activity, we decided we'd let Glenn Beck join us. For those of you who don't regularly patrol CNN, Glenn Beck is a radio/television host. He's a conservative by nature, and his show is usually pretty entertaining, especially in the moments when he calls politicians and others on the carpet for what or who they really are. One of our favorite moments was when he cut off a guest and informed him he was being rude and demeaning (which he was) and then denied him speaking privileges. :) Glenn Beck is also an LDS convert.

So last night as I feebly attempted to help Jess put together our bookcase (bless Jess for letting his wife help him and for loving her even when she breaks things), we heard Glenn mention that we should stay tuned as a "deeply personal note" was next. We were so glad we did. Because Glenn, like the rest of us, took his turn in paying tribute to a man that will be missed, but more so, that inspired us all to stand for something, to be a little better.
