Latter-day Chase

The Passing of a Prophet

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints lost a great leader on Monday. President Gordon B. Hinckley has led the church for the majority of my life. It’s hard to describe what it’s like to be LDS and have the prophet pass away. Being so young, I’m new at this.

Hinckley led the church through a time of great change. The church membership rolls grew significantly, and a record number of temples were dedicated under his leadership. Hinckley led the charge on building more but smaller temples. This allowed additional members of the church to have access to temples more often, reducing unnecessary travel and financial hardship. Although I disagree with what I would argue as subtle political action regarding the Proclamation to the World, Hinckley did a lot to lead the church into the 21st century.

When I heard President Hinckley had passed away, I was shocked but quickly found peace. This man was 97. He has been mentioning at General Conference for years now that he might not be at the pulpit the next time around. His frankness regarding his coming death is ironically inspirational. Hinckley was a man of such strong faith he didn’t fear death for an instant. His patience with growing old and weak was spiritually inspirational as well. His ability to sit back and wait for the Lord to be ready to bring him back to the heavens was touching. One thing is for sure, this man wasn’t afraid of passing on and seeing his Heavenly Father.

The LDS Church is entering a new era. Thomas S. Monson will no doubt be named the new prophet, seer, and revelator sometime next week. I encourage all of you to try and catch Hinckley’s funeral this Saturday (11:00 AM Mountain Standard Time). I think there is a way to stream it over the church website. You will see a memorial of a great leader of my church, and I’m sure most of you will find it interesting.

Betty,

There will always be people working to pull down the good in life. Just explain that to the young people as the evidence is everywhere. Keep it positive, that is the world we all want to live in.

To My Friends of Faith,

Recently a friend at our church brought this "film" to my attention.
Her son apparently was sent this web link from someone.

It's a movie clip (that has been recently released, or is about to,,, I'm not sure),,
anyway, it depicts Mormons as flesh eating ghouls, and it is just awful. www.thebookofzombie.com


On behalf of myself and my husband, and our Mormon friends,
I would like to make sure that young people are NOT subjected to this terrible conception of our faith.


please let me know if you are able to help.


regards, Betty Toms

Stephanie,

There is no website moderator. I discovered this the hard way when I read an article by Jacques Berlinerblau on Huckabee titled Huck to Constitution: Get Right With God that was originally published Friday January 18th in a forum similar to this one on this website. The responses were polarized into atheists or agnostics against those who think it their duty to preach hell fire and damnation on said atheists. Neither side really commented on the issue about which Mr. Berlinerblauer wrote. I e-mailed the author and asked for his thoughts on this phenomenon and he told me that there is no website moderator.

In every article that is open to comment which involves Mitt Romney or anything related to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the poster to whom you refer has posted similar phrases. I've found the rhetoric of this enthused individual to be at the very least fun to read although the thoughts may seem a little disjointed. Let the poster enjoy a little free speech and sit along for the ride.

On the topic of the article, I must say I can identify with the author quite a bit because I am part of a similar demographic. I've been alive for other prophets but President Hinckley was sustained when I was very young and he's the only prophet whose teachings I've really pondered and acted upon being moved by the Holy Spirit. While I'm saddened at his passing because I won't have an opportunity to hear him speak at this coming conference, I rejoice for the beloved prophet's teachings and am blessed to have heard them.

Stephanie:

Dear website moderator,

What what that last anonymous, nonsense post all about? He/she has posted over and over again and I'm wondering if the nonsense could be screened out?

Thanks
