I miss Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin. He was a favorite of mine during his service as a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. His messages were always uplifting and timely. Given recent events I was reminded of one my favorite Elder Wirthlin General Conference talks. It's entitled, "The Virtue of Kindness." I will make no other comment, just to say I hope it will be read, applied, and followed. The longer I live the more I want to be certain this is a virtue I possess. I confess I have not always been kind. Those who know me are well aware of my shortcomings, and my easiness to be provoked. I hope someday to possess true charity and to truly possess the virtue of kindness.
I've not been a regular blogger, but have decided that this might be the best way to keep a journal, share my thoughts and beliefs, and other musings. Alynda, maintains a family blog if you'd like to visit and find out what's happening with her.
