3 1/2 weeks

When I first met Arnold and we started dating, he was taking Ph.D. seminars, working forty hours a week in the Registrar's Office, and drinking Red Bull and coffee to stay awake half the night. Fast forward about five years later, a marriage, a nasty hurricane, moving 18 times, and a baby, and he is now down to the last three and a half weeks of his college career. Yes, he has 3 1/2 weeks to finish his dissertation. He is working fervently and feverishly to finish, and I am proofreading it fervently (and am now cross-eyed). So, we need your prayers! We really want him to graduate in May. And he is so close to being finished, but he needs God-speed, supernatural strength, and a daily injection of caffeine. He needs to be able to write fast and accurate, (in the words of Mel Gibson from The Patriot). And he needs to feel rested so that he read quickly and write quickly. Please, if you think about us in the next few days and weeks, say a prayer for us and our family. We all need a little grace from God!
