    He has been in the First Presidency since I joined the Church on January 20, 1991.

We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

        90 is a good run. RIP.

        Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

          I remember his "little Tommy" stories. He seemed to have been in a lot of pain toward the end.
          "Guitar groups are on their way out, Mr Epstein."

          Upon rejecting the Beatles, Dick Rowe told Brian Epstein of the January 1, 1962 audition for Decca, which signed Brian Poole and the Tremeloes instead.

            His talk "Finisher's Wanted" is one of my Top 5 conference talks of all time. I go back to it frequently and I share it with others often.

            I'm glad that I will have that to remind myself of what my Heavenly Father wants and expects from me.

            Godspeed.

                I’ll miss his sing song style and stories. They always inspired me to be better.

                I also wonder how angry John Dehlin is that Kate Kelly was mentioned in the NYT article as the example of people speaking up and being excommunicated?

                    I didn't cry like I did when Hinckley passed, nevertheless my eyes welled up when I saw the news hit my Twitter timeline. I'll miss him, his stories, that slicked back hair and the inflections in his voice and his unique delivery. Godspeed.

                      I really liked President Hinkley. I liked President Monson mostly because he was the President. The system will give us another. However, I have been expecting President Monson to die for a long time whereas I wasn't quite as prepped to the idea with President Hinkley. God speed President Monson...next man up!

                          TSM was called as an apostle in 1963. That is a crazy long run. He was 36 years old when he was called!

                          He is the last in a sequence of apostles (GBH, LTM, BKP, TSM) that I remember as being apostles for basically my entire life. They don't seem to call them at such an early age anymore, so this is kind of the end of an era.

                          We are friends with a family where the father was a Seventy so they did all of the kids' wedding receptions in the Joseph Smith Building in SLC. We ran into TSM a few times at those events and had the opportunity to have a nice chat. One time we were talking and he looked both ways and said, "My wife HATES it when I do this, but watch this..." and he wiggled his ears. My kids were thrilled.

                            This is the key. Most us us have been primed for Monson to pass for the last 4 years or so. Hinckley was older, but his death came as more of a surprise, even despite his age.

                              Love the story in the linked article about how he had the prompting to visit the hospital and decided to wait until the meeting was over. We all fall short at times but we can use those failures as lessons.
