Thank you to everyone who has been a part of this work coming to pass as it presently is:

​

To those who were not so sure, which made me think and study with even more diligence...

​

To those who encouraged me and believed that I should go further than a study stapled together...

​

To those who have checked my grammar and made me wish I had listened better in English class...

​

To those who read my manuscript for the first time (something I will never be able to do) and gave me such valuable input...

​

To my church family, who has treated me like gold, and made me so much want to be like a pastor to you, which now I am...

​

To Jerry McDonald, my friend and fellow church member, who went above and beyond to give me helpful input...

​

To Geoff Hill, my nephew and computer I.T. Person,  without whom this web site would not be...

​

To my wife and son, from whom my time in this study has taken so much time (just now written with tears)...

​

And to my Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ, who I have to believe put this so heavily upon my heart...

​

It has been a most, MOST, rewarding labor of love.
