Friends,

I've been unable to participate as fully as I would like for the past several months, as I have been frantically working to finish my dissertation. Well, I am very pleased to report that I finished the first draft of it last week. I still need to do some editing on it, but the lion's share of the work is now behind me.

Please remember me in your prayers as I revise the text, and will be defending it in the spring.

Your friend,
Anthony

P.S. I would like to send a special shout-out to my friend Dr. Alex Roman, who, for some inexplicable reason, appeared in my dream last night to offer me valuale advice. Hello Alex!

Congratulations on successfully negotiating the BIG hurdle in the preparation of your dissertation!

Amado

P.S. I hope your dreaming of Alex Roman, PhD, will not turn into a nightmare! wink

Was Alex the Ghost of the Forum Past, Present or Future?
Sounds scary.
Anyway, God bless you in your efforts, we look forward to your return; your voice was always one of wisdom.

Amado, ByzanTN, and Daniel,

Thank you for welcoming me back! I think that Alex appeared in my dream to remind me that I belong on this forum. So here I am!

Glory to Jesus Christ!

Dear Anthony, happy your travail is coming to an end. I can think of many worse things to dream about... smile
