'By Union Of Feeling We Obtain Power With God

There is a thing that sometimes happens that is hard to achieve and hard to define. It's called "swing." It happens only when all are towing in such perfect unison that not a single action is out of sync. Rowers must rein in their fierce independence and at the same time hold true to their individual capabilities. Races are not won by clones. Good crews are good blends - someone to lead the charge, someone to hold something in reserve, someone to fight the fight, someone to make peace. No rower is more valuable than another, all are assets to the boat, but if they are to row well together, each must adjust to the needs and capabilities of the others-the shorter-armed person reaching a little farther, the longer-armed person pulling in just a bit.
Differences can be turned to advantage instead of disadvantage. Only then will it feel as if the boat is moving on its own. Only then does pain entirely give way to exultation. Good "swing" feels like poetry.
Against towering obstacles, this team found perfect swing and won. The Olympic gold was exhilarating, but the unity each rower experienced that day was a holy moment that stayed with them all their lives.

Millions throughout the world have embraced a knowledge of these prophesied events.
I am so miserable today. I finally got up from a prone position around noon and make snickerdoodle cookies for the missionaries who are coming to help on the fence. After making cookies I was going to go shopping but my leg and sciatic nerve was bothering me too much. It's hard to make plans when I never know how I am going to feel.
Four elders came to help James on the fence. They liked the cookies.
When James came in this evening he made venison gravy. I baked the biscuits. It was so delicious and I am afraid I had more than I should have. I wonder when my new diet is going to start. Maybe when I start feeling better and don't require comfort food.
