·         These computers.

So yeah. This is what I have been working on for the past 10 minutes of extra time...trying to copy and paste this in something.  I hate these computers--they are annoying. 

This is just something extra I wanted to share.

Patience:

Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin taught:

“We will have genuine joy and happiness only as we learn patience.

“Dictionaries define patience in such terms as bearing pain or sorrow calmly or without complaint; not being hasty or impetuous; being steadfast despite opposition, difficulty, or adversity. …

“… I believe that a lack of patience is a major cause of the difficulties and unhappiness in the world today.  Too often, we are impatient with ourselves, with our family members and friends, and even with the Lord. We seem to demand what we want right now, regardless of whether we have earned it, whether it would be good for us, or whether it is right. …

“We should learn to be patient with ourselves. Recognizing our strengths and our weaknesses, we should strive to use good judgment in all of our choices and decisions, make good use of every opportunity, and do our best in every task we undertake. We should not be unduly discouraged nor in despair at any time when we are doing the best we can. Rather, we should be satisfied with our progress even though it may come slowly at times” (in Conference Report, Apr. 1987

So I add: keep on working even if it's slow and doesn't seem to be getting you to where you want to be...
