Tribute to President Gordon B. Hinckley
I'm going to miss President Hinckley tremendously - he passed away last night - but oh, what a wonderful reunion he must have had. We love you President Hinckley! I found this quote and it reminded me of him -- a straight arrow!
If you hold to high standards and try diligently to build your life on principles, you may well be labeled as a prude, a do-gooder, unsophisticated, square — a straight arrow . If they don't want you to be a straight arrow, then what would they have you be — lascivious, a do-badder, sinful, shapeless — a crooked arrow ? Can you imagine anything as useless as a crooked arrow? If you wanted to hit a target, reach a goal, predict a course of flight, which arrow would you pick? In working out his plans, do you imagine God picks crooked arrows?
