G-d is in the details. I believe this. The Devil can be there too, however. I was finally getting the packets ready for my recommenders for graduate school - you know those forms that you agree to waive the right to see but hope that most of the people will send you a copy anyway! And there in almost infinitesimal script are the words: "Academic writing sample blah blah blah 25 pages." WHAT! 25 frickin' pages?! I haven't written anything that long since the last grad school adventure and even then I think it was only 20 after you used acceptable margins. So I call the office of admissions (26 days until they are due) and I ask if I can send in parts of my thesis. No. It has to have been written in the last 5 years. That paper was written in 1999. So not only do I have to write those damnable essays I have to write a 25 page paper.
What is the lesson here? Pay attention. Especially to the fine print.
We are blessed, may we recognize the blessing
in peace

YOU ARE ALSO SILLY, we are WANTING you to join the January fitness craziness:)
You have to do what?!? In how many days? Do you even have a topic? Oh, you have my sympathies!
When you're ready for feedback, just yell if you'd like an editor. I'd like to support you in this venture, if I can. And I would love put my ridiculously extensive knowledge of the APA style guide to use for something other than just consulting project reports.

wanna pay Ben to write one for you! LOL
Thank you Carrie!
Julie, I may take you up on that offer. I am going back for religious studies - ethics and I think my paper is going to be "the ethics of dying" but i need to get more specific than that.
Laura - thanks but I don't think there is enough money in the world!
having thought a lot, at various times, about dying . . . I know hospice has some interesting stuff on it, as well as thanatology studies. wishing I could help you.
