Back In a Bit

January 28, 2008

Oh my. I have 3 more really good posts for today — one of them from our awesome Guest Mom, Michelle. Really. They are don’t miss. But. I’m deathly ill with some sort of flue and am kidding myself if I think I can get them posted right now. This same sickness has cycled through my kids pretty quickly, so I’m crossing my fingers I’ll be feeling healthy soon (oh please let it be soon). And then I’ll be back at my computer.

Also. I’m feeling heart-heavy today. A great man and leader passed away yesterday. His name is Gordon B. Hinckley and he’s been the leader of my church for the last 12 years. So I’m also spending time today with the rest of my peeps mourning his death and pondering and celebrating the good life he lived .

Definately sad news for us, but good news for him to be reunited with his sweet wife. I thought you were LDS!

I’m sorry you’re sick! My youngest has it too, and I had a less vicious version on Saturday.

We too are grieving the loss of Pres. Hinckley. At least he’s happily reunited with his wife now!

Yes I agree with said comments about President Hinckley. We read a summary of his life service for the church tonight from LDS.org … what an incredible impact he has had on the church, and the world too!

I though you might be LDS. No wonder I love your blog so much! I still can’t believe Pres. Hinckley is gone. His life was truly amazing!
