Happy 90th Birthday President Monson!
Though he is aging and limited in his physical abilities, I still sustain him as the prophet. President Monson has led an exemplary life and he has done all within his power to advance the work of the Lord on the earth. He is God's chosen mouthpiece on the earth today.
"The Lord refines and polishes each one..."
"God will never permit an imposter to stand at its head. He will name his prophets, and he will inspire and direct them."
"Some express concern that the President of the Church is likely always to be a rather elderly man, to which my response is, 'What a blessing!' He does not need to be youthful. To my mind there is something tremendously reassuring in knowing that we shall have a President who has been disciplined and schooled, tried and tested, whose fidelity to the work and whose integrity in the cause have been tempered in the forge of service, whose faith has matured, and whose nearness to God has been cultivated over a period of many years."
