Dedication

This book is dedicated to young people, men, and women of all ages, races, facets, and phases in life. To the readers of my first book, Purposefully Prepared to Persevere, I trust that you have been enlightened and encouraged to elevate your life and bask in the ebullience of life.

To the child abandoned by mother or father, there still is hope to cope with the pains of life (Psalm 27:10). To the young men and women seeking to navigate the avenues of acclimation, the paths of power, the highways of healing, and the streets of success.

To the diseased, distressed, depressed, and repressed human spirit, don’t give up. Keep the Faith, You shall not die, but live and declare the works of the Lord (Psalm 118:17).

To my family and friends, here I go unlocking my dreams again. I hope you enjoy the ride.

To my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I Thank You, for your ever abounding love, gifts, and blessings that
