In for the Long Haul

The lessons presented this week in a couple of classes have focused on staying the course or digging deeper.  Somehow this was an inspired course curriculum as half way through the week I was informed of my younger sisters death.  I lost all focus for a couple of days and had no interest in any outside work needs.  I simply did not care.  In the back of my head I knew I had obligations that needed my attention and it was that knowledge that I needed to dig in and get myself through it that kept me from completely shutting down.  I have done most of my work looking through water and needing to reread everything to make sure it made sense but I persevered.  I can not say I will be as good at it next week as we travel to and attend her funeral but for today as strange as it may sound my lesson material got me through to the end of this week.
