David T Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 (edited) Church news published a new message by President Monson today:http://www.ldschurch...s-S-Monson.htmlThe end was quite interesting to me..."This year will mark 50 years since I was called to serve in the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. I was 36 years old when that call came. Last August I celebrated my 85th birthday. Some of the senior members of the Quorum of the Twelve have a few years even on me. Age eventually takes its toll on all of us. However, we join our voices with King Benjamin, who said, as recorded in the second chapter of the book of Mosiah, "I am like as yourselves, subject to all manner of infirmities in body and mind; yet I have been chosen ... and consecrated by my father, ... and have been kept and preserved by his matchless power, to serve you with all the might, mind and strength which the Lord hath granted unto me" (Mosiah 2:11). Despite any health challenges that may come to us, despite any weakness in body or mind, we serve to the best of our ability. I assure you that the Church is in good hands. The system set up for the Council of the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve assures that it will always be in good hands and that, come what may, there is no need to worry or to fear. Our Savior, Jesus Christ, whom we follow, whom we worship, and whom we serve, is ever at the helm"I know there had been rumors and evidence of Alzheimer's in the past. Is this, with repeated mention of 'body and mind' is perhaps a way of addressing that? Edited February 2, 2013 by David T
Calm Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 I know there had been rumors and evidence of Alzheimer's in the past. Is this, with repeated mention of 'body and mind' is perhaps a way of addressing that?It seems to me the only way to answer this would be to rely on speculation and gossip. The information in the article gives us what is known so anything else is unknown, right? 1
