Digital world?

So I have a giant Rolodex with a collection of numbers I've been accumulating since I started working for The News Journal in December 1991. It's massive. I thought I would put all the numbers into a digital database, which is how I keep most numbers now, and lose the Rolodex. What was I thinking? I've been at it for over an hour and clearly it's going to take several hours. It seemed like a good idea.

Today, we sang a hymn in church that I've been singing all my life. But suddenly it hit me starkly as we were sitting there that this might be the time we've been singing about. "Now when the ungodly are fearing and tremble, we'll watch for the hour when the Savior will come." I've noticed in recent months that I'm not as worried or fearful about the current state of affairs nationally or globally as other people I know. I just have a certain sense of peace and calmness. Indeed, perhaps that is because I've always believed the Savior would return and looked forward to that day. I may not be entirely ready yet ...
