I have to deliver my manuscript on “What Makes Missions Effective?” to the directors of the missionary retreat by April 1.

The manuscripts from the retreat will be published in a book.

I assume they did not choose the date because of its associations.

Actually, it’s because it is one month before the retreat. It’s a short deadline they’ve set for themselves, but I assume they have the wherewithal to get it done.

Anyway, my time is running out. Pray I’ll get it done and delivered on time. I’m counting down. (Or see clock below.)
