we lost a good man

i was saddened to hear the news of the passing of elder joseph b. wirthlin today. i really enjoyed his talks, and the gentle,loving spirit he carried about himself. he truly exemplified Christlike love and was a great example to us all. i really appreciated the fact that he played football back in the day at the university of utah . and i'll never forget the story of how he could have cheated his way into the endzone for a game-winning touchdown...but he knew he hadn't made it in and remained just short. in the heat of competition that had to be a very tough decision...but he made the absolute right one...integrity triumphs over victory.i can only hope i woulda done the same. i also loved his sense of optimism. i love how he said that no matter how dark friday may get, sunday will always come. so indeed, come what may...and love it.
