A truly great religious leader has passed away this evening. President Gordon B. Hinckley lived to the ripe old age of 97. He will be greatly missed by so many.

Action leads to Consequences
At our house we are constantly learning the process of cause and effect or action and consequences. For the most part it is positive. Action: Do your chores early and correctly.
