A New Beginning

I started this blog a few months ago and decided I wasn't funny enough, so I deleted all my posts... but never went back. Since humor doesn't run in my blood, I might as well be me. Sooo... here I go with my blog. I've always wanted to keep a journal but everytime I would write in one, I would get writers cramp, so I would never last long. I regret not keeping one while Chase and I dated. I've writen on and off since I got married, but I need to be better. I'm hoping this will help me.

I want to start by expressing my feelings of the passing of President Gordon B. Hinckley. I was very saddened when I heard the news. He was such an example to me of someone who was patient, kind, gentle, knowledgeable, funny, and spiritual. He is the only Prophet that I really remember. I can remember President Hunter... a little... but President Hinckley was "My Prophet." The last week as I have read the news paper and watched the news reports on t.v. , I'm motivated to be a better person. How thankful I am that life doesn't end at death. What a comfort it is to know that one day we will be with our family and friends, and all others who have lived a righteous life. What a powerful thing repentance is! We have each day to become a little better. We don't have to wait until the beginning of a new year to make changes. I know that when we follow the teachings of the Prophet and apostles that we are on the path that will lead us back to our Heavenly Father and Savior. I love this Gospel!! I know that the church will continue to move forward and President Monson will be a wonderful Prophet, as was President Hinckley.
