So, we have taken to using Sundays for getting our photos uploaded to Family Search while the going is still good. Since we are coming up on our 30th anniversary, we went for the dating years and early married life at BYU. Oh the memories!! So much vinegar and vivaciousness. In our mid-fifties, not so much. But great to remember back and look on our respective selves in our "prime" gloriousness. I cannot wait for that blessed day when we are at our absolute best with all the wisdom and experience gained during our lives. It will be epic.
But the reason for this piece is that I want to encourage folks to upload all photos to the church resource. It may be the only way to move that into the Millennium. The server farms in many large cities, etc will be knocked out and all those FB memories, the Cloud and even our electronics may not be functioning. There will be massive dislocation of people, so moving from place to place without scrapbooks likely will not be a possibility. Things like that will become almost meaningless as pressing necessities like food/water/shelter crowd them out. So we need to have them in a place where they will be treated properly.
On that note - and in honor of Pioneer Day, I marvel that, in spite of all the chaos in the post-Nauvoo exodus, that they managed to get important documents out of Nauvoo and that some of the more important history remained intact when dry shelter for people was, at times, not even possible. This was an amazing accomplishment - at least in my mind.
Please get your memories uploaded while it is still an easy and possible task.
