Day 14 of Carolyn

Day 14: Someone who fascinates you and why

fas·ci·nate  *to capture the interest or hold the attention.

I must say, I don't use the word "fascinate" a lot.  Thinking of someone who fascinates me is a little mind boggling.  I can think of things that fascinate me.  So a Person....

Each of my children fascinate me.  The have definitely captured my interest and are holding my attention!

But I am going to go with the Prophet, Thomas S. Monson.

President Thomas S. Monson - President and Prophet - Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints


This man is truly fascinating.  In this day and age where people are inclined to do the "fashionable thing" finding someone who is steadfast and immovable is rare.  What a blessing it is to be able to hear our church leaders speak and know without a shadow of a doubt that what was said came from the Lord.  When I was younger and my family would go to my Grandparents house to watch conference, I would sit and play on the floor.  I would not often be paying that close of attention to the talks that were being given.  There were a few voices that stood out.  I would hear the voice and I would stop playing.  I would turn my attention the message that was given.  One was Gordon B. Hinkley, the other Thomas S. Monson.  I loved President Monson's stories.  I would look forward to them every year.  This man truly converses with God.  What a fascinating man!
