DEDICATION

This manuscript is dedicated with immense gratitude to

My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, Who alone has delivered me from sin, death and eternal misery!

It is also dedicated to my wonderful lifetime companion who shines brightly before the Lord and humanity as a tremendous example of what a wife and mother should be

Beverly Ann - God’s greatest gift to me apart from His wonderful salvation!

Further this manuscript is dedicated to my exceptionally special children who have loved me enough to put up with all my whims and shortcomings in raising them!

To Samuel, Christopher, Richard, Kristine, Abigail, David and Sarah

Seven very special gifts bestowed by a loving Heavenly Father!

Finally this manuscript is dedicated to  anyone who has influenced my life in any manner whether it was negative or positive, because every precious experience contributed to my growth and character building, and helped make me a better man.

To all the above I say, Thank You from the  innermost depths of my being!
