I wish to express my gratitude to my friends Jan Stone and Vonda Tressler for their support of my work and for the time they freely gave to proof read the early drafts of my manuscript. Also, I want to thank my daughters Dawn and Robyn for their giving of their valuable time which they had spent proof reading the final draft of my [original] manuscript. I, too, thank all of my children Dawn, Joe, Krista, and Robyn for their understanding when I was not readily available for them.  They were very patient with me and understood why I was closed in my study so much. Words cannot express the heartfelt thanks, gratitude and love I have for my wonderful wife and helpmate, TERESA who became a true 'Computer Widow' during my many hours in which I sat with my nose to the computer.  She sacrificed her time with me that I might be better able to work and pray, therefore, having the sincere hope that someone may be touched through it all.  I thank her for the encouragement when I would have stopped working, when, to my dismay, there were many distractions during the course of the day.  She pushed me on when I lost many hours of my work because of power outages.  I had become engrossed in my work and lost track of the time and forgot to save my work.  I had wanted to give up, but she pushed me on.  Without her, no one would be reading this. Ultimately, I thank my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ of Nazareth for allowing me to experience each and every situation in my life.  With each trial I became stronger and more stable in my faith.  With each trial I learned to lean and rely more on Him.  With each trial I became more assured in my knowledge that His Word stands true when He said, "I will never leave thee nor forsake thee."  (Hebrews 1:35b)
