As you many already know, the former First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints consisted of Gordon B. Hinkley as president, Thomas S Monson as first counselor, and James E Faust as second conselor. Many of you with small children may also know that Gordon, Thomas, and James are all main characters in the "Thomas the Tank Engine" stories. Late this summer president Faust passed away. This month we had our semi-annual general conference of the church and we all anxiously awaited the name of the new second counselor. We were all pleased to hear that Henery B Eyring would be taking his place. Not only has he been, for me especially, one of the most inspiring apostles, he also is the only apostle with the first name of one of the main characters in "Thomas the Tank Engine"!
Interesting...don't you think.

That is an interesting fact. Do you think they took that into consideration? MOM
