Grace shall be as your day

I passed my PhD qualifying exam today. Although I was fairly sure I would pass, it's surprising how stressful preparing for quals was. As usual, my imagination was worse than reality - my committee was very supportive and the experience was even pleasant.

A big thank you to 'spoza, who has been shamefully ignored for the past few months, but still says she loves me anyway. We're off for a much needed trip to Utah.

All is well !

Come, come, ye Saints, no toil or labor fear;
But with joy wend your way.
Though hard to you this journey may appear,
Grace shall be as your day.
'Tis better far for us to strive
Our useless cares from us to drive;
Do this and joy your hearts will swell —
All is well! All is well!

Why should we mourn or think our lot is hard?
'Tis not so; all is right.
Why should we think to earn a great reward
If we now shun the fight?
Gird up your loins; fresh courage take.
Our God will never us forsake;
And soon we'll have this tale to tell —
All is well! All is well!
