37 years.... And something NEW in the scriptures!

I can't believe I have been married for 37 years today... That's a very long time... Does anyone remember when being married for 50 years was a really, really big deal? Seems almost commonplace anymore. Really, I am NOT old!! Am I?

In the past week or so, I have filled my little brain beyond its capacity with statistical formulas etc. for an exam on t tests for dependent and independent means. I took a Statistics test yesterday that was especially critical because I need a really good score on it to compensate for my last less-than-stellar performance on a statistics exam. I was SO surprised this morning to read statistical jargon in the book of Alma! But there it was. Several times Alma taught that by very small "means" the Lord brings about the salvation of many souls. I can tell you that, according to Cohen's conventions, "small means" translates to an effect size of .20. I had never considered before the impact that "averages" of any size can have on our salvation!

Clearly, it is time to move on!!! One more statistics test... And a group presentation in Research Methods and I'm DONE!!! Come December 16th at 1:00 p.m., I am going to be a very, very happy girl... :)
