"'The time has come,' the Walrus said," for my graduation from college.

My last two finals are tomorrow and the ceremony is on Saturday morning. I can't believe how fast college flew by. Many older and wise people have told me that life goes by faster and faster with each passing year. I am beginning to see the truth in that. Even my time on the Forum has shown that: I think I've been a member here since I was 15 (summer of '02). Now I'm 22.

Please pray for my success on my last two finals!

Prayers for your success not only in these examinations, but also in whatever you endeavor to do for the Glory of God with your life.

Bob,

Thank you. I'm attending law school in the fall, tentatively here at UGA, but possibly at Boston University.

Christ our Lord, the Giver of light and wisdom, who opened the eyes of the blind man and transformed the fishermen into wise heralds and teachers of the gospel through the coming of the Holy Spirit, shine also in their minds the light of the grace of the Holy Spirit. Grant them discernment, understanding and wisdom in learning. Enable them to complete assignments and to abound in every good work, for to You we give honor, glory, and thanksgiving for these delightful young people. Give them success in their undertakings in life, that they will glorify you all the days of their lives. Amen.

CONGRATULATIONS Garrett!

One final down for the day (Biblical, Rabbinic, and Modern Judaism), one final to go (Consumer Econ). History of Southern Religion and Modern African Lit have already been finished. Whew!
