There is something reassuring about standing for something, and knowing what we stand for.
For men and women who are true to themselves and to the virtues and standards they have
personally adopted, it is not difficult to be true to others.
{ Gordon B. Hinckley, standing for something }



Today I'm Breaking My Sugar Fast ...

... to have a Kit Kat in honor of a beautiful woman in our ward who passed away a little over a week ago. She was just a little older than my own mother and was taken too quickly by cancer. I didn't know sweet Kathy well at all. She was so private, but I always admired her. She was humble, lovely, and quietly faithful in her church service. I knew her and her husband best as one of the poor couples who often sat by us in the very back of the chapel. She and her sweet husband tolerated us and our Eliot escapades. She always smiled warmly and never seemed too annoyed by us. Apparently, Kathy's nick-name was "Kit Kat," which was her favorite candy bar, and a woman in our ward suggested that we all buy, hand out, and enjoy Kit Kats today, which would have been sweet Kathy's 60th birthday, in honor of that sweet, unassuming lady. Have a Kit Kat today to honor the lovely women in your life. I will.
