Elder Brady's Motto

"I have desired that while serving a mission that I am to do God's will, not mine. If it is the will of God that I should spend my days proclaiming this Gospel and bearing testimony of these things, I shall think of myself highly privileged and honored. When the spirit of God is upon me, I think it matters very little what I suffer, and what I sacrificed - whether I secure the honor or dishonor of men, or where I die, if it so be that I can keep the faith, fight the good fight, and finish my course with joy, I have all eternity before me in which to enjoy myself."

He is more important than that...

President Monson was returning to Salt Lake  after a speaking engagement and when his Plane arrived there was a limousine there to transport him to his home.  As he prepared to get into the limo, he stopped and spoke to the driver.  'You know' he said, 'I am 87 years old and I have never driven a limousine. Would you mind if I drove it for a while?'  The driver said, 'No problem. Have at it.'  President Monson gets into the driver's seat and they head off.

Down the highway a short distance away sat a rookie State Trooper operating his first speed trap. The long black limo went by him doing 70 in a 55 mph zone. The trooper pulled out and easily caught the limo and he got out of his patrol car to begin the procedure. The young trooper walked up to the driver's door and when
the glass was rolled down, he was surprised to see who was driving. He immediately excused himself and went back to his car and called his supervisor. He told the supervisor, 'I know we are supposed to enforce the law.... but I also know that important people are given certain courtesies.  I need to know what I should
do because I have stopped a very important person.' The supervisor asked, 'Is it the governor?' The young trooper said, 'No, he's more important than that.'  The supervisor said,  'Oh, so it's the president.' The young
trooper said,  'No, he's even more important than that.' The supervisor finally asked, 'Well then, who is it?'
The young trooper said,  'I think it's Jesus, because he's got President Monson for a chauffeur!'
