BW's dissertation

Yes, I am up at "0 dark-thirty" again! Well, I get on these jags once-in-a-while and it takes me a day or 2 to get back in sync. Last night's vigil, making sure the moon came back after being eaten by the shadow in the sky got me into this wierd schedule. Hopefully by tomorrow night (by which I mean tonight), I'll be able to get back to normal mode.

Okay, I'm writing this morning to say: We are almost ready to send bw's paper! And we sincerely want your prayers at this point. This is the "proposal" for her dissertaion. She sent her first proposal a few months ago. Her mentor had a lot of suggestions/instructions for changes. He basically told her to take this process more seriously. So she has done so. Virtually all summer (except for our brief trip to Crater Lake), she has spent dawn to after dusk working on this. I have spent the last few days editing and re-editing it. A few moments ago, I emailed my latest re-work back to her for final adjustments.

Soooooo, all of that to say: We are on target to get this off this week: Friday at the latest; hopefully sooner. She will send an e-version of it. But we also have to send a hard copy. So that will go in a secured system of getting it there by snail mail. Fortunately, this snail flies!

Anyway, we are asking for your sincere, diligent and faith-filled prayers for the following:

1. That the hard copy will get to Manila's de la Salle University safely and expeditiously;
2. That her mentor, Dr. Danny Dayag, will look favorably on her efforts and will approve her proposal;
3. That the expected shipment of newspapers we have requested will arrive soon, so that bw can start tabulating, etc.

Okay, I think that about covers it for now.

hasta la vista baby!
