I realize that I have been blessed this past week to be able to pretty much live normally while I have been sick.  I did my work and even felt okay to get out and about on a few occasions.  The only day that I really crashed was Sunday when I stayed in bed instead of going to church and I was able to recharge enough to be there for our FHE.  I felt so good that I thought it was done, but realized by Monday that my cold was still hanging on.  Now, Tuesday a. m. , it is still here, but I don't see it interfering too much with my routine.  I was up before 7 and I showered and dressed and now I am ready to work in my office for what ever lies ahead.  I wanted to look up on the net to see if I could find a recent chart about the number of LDS stakes but I couldn't find anything currant.  Yesterday in the paper I read of # 3,000 over the weekend.  I am amazed at that.  Do you understand what is going on?  All of the numbers are showing an amazing thing taking place.  My little life pales to all of that, but it is all that I have.  I continue to try and understand how the two fit together.  It is my biggest conundrum. I invite any ideas you may have.
