If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant; if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome. Anne Bradstreet

And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them. Ether 12:27

Yea, all things which come of the earth, in the season therof, are made for the benefit and the use of man, both to please the eye and to gladden the heart; Yea, for food and for raiment, for taste and for smell, to strengthen the body and to enliven the soul. And it pleaseth God that he hath given all these things unto man; for unto this end were they made to be used, with judgment, not to excess, neither by extortion. D&C 59:18-20

Family History

This work is coming along fine, except that I'm not able to spend as many hours a day at it as I used to.  I passed 80,000 persons in my database today.  I felt in the past that I would reach 150,000 before I got to the 1850 marriages when I was systematically doing the marriages year by year.  Now I'm more haphazard, adding more new names and linking existing names to FS and of course, doing some corrections as I go along.  This way I'm able to generate new names for temple ordinances, as I want to go to the temple once a month.  I made it last December to KS City, then June, Aug, Oct and Nov to OK City.
