Speaking of Facebook, a TBM friend posted a "meme" of a quote attributed to Gordon B. Hinkley. This friend commented about the "meme," saying how #blessed she is to have such a wise prophet willing to share his amazing knowledge.

What was this amazing knowledge that only the wise elite few have learned? *Ahem* and I quote:

"It isn't as bad as you sometimes think it is. It all works out. Don't worry."

??? Really? This is what qualifies as a pearl of wisdom from the mouth of god these days? Aside from the fact that it's fairly dismissive of someone's problems, it's far, FAR from a unique quote. Can you really attribute that to anyone? Doesn't everyone say some form of this, like, every other day of their lives?

... but a few monkeys randomly working at typewriters could certainly come up with more inspiring wisdom than you find in that Hinckley quote!

"I don't know that we teach that."

"The members of the church sustain me as such."

Gordo had some dooseys.

Do I get my power from god? I get my power from the MEN and WOMEN who sustain men. (live on network TV)

Sounds like a takeoff on Matthew 6:34. God must have updated it to modern language for GBH.

"So don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today's trouble is enough for today."

His love for his volunteers (missionaries).

"Well you're not much to look at."

Didn't John Lennon say it first? Maybe GBH was a big fan.
