This is turning out to be a year of saddness for me. It just seems to go on and on. Here is where my faith in the Lord and my knowledge that there is a place prepared for us becomes a lifeline, a wonderful thing to hold to. Another ward member and good friend died. His name is Kyle Carlisle.
Now those of you that know me well, know that I don't believe that there are very many good men in the world. However, I do believe that there are a few. Kyle was one of those few.
He was my home teacher for a little while. He was a councelor in our Bishopric. He was scout leader to my boys. In fact Matthew said last night, after we had heard the news, "He was the best scout leader ever. He got us 4-wheeler certified, he took us places and did the coolest things with us. I'm gonna miss him."
I'm gonna miss his smile, his truck driving down the street and a wave from him when it does. I'm gonna even miss his big dog loping down the street.
The world is short of good men by one today and Heaven is all the richer.
