Special appreciation is given to all those who have impacted my life and who have inspired me over the years.
First and foremost is my dear wife, Violeta ("Yolly"), a true saint, strong of spirit, gentle of personality, whom I not only deeply love but admire as a person and example to others.
For their inspiration and example, a special thanks to, in alphabetical order: Bill and Dottie Blood, Dr. and Mrs. Bill Bright, Peter and Christine Darg, Pastor Jeff Good, David Ingles, Dr. Michael Landsman, Sid Roth, Matt Schwartz, and Pastor Clarence C. Sykes.
The late Pastor Tom Jones is acknowledged for his example and the faith, grace, and love demonstrated in his life.
Special appreciation is also extended to Dr. Travis Armstrong, the late Constance Bishop, thelate Mrs. Crawley, and Paul Fannin for their friendship and encouragement.
