I dedicate this book to the Lord. I started this book many years ago and then stopped and restarted many times. I thought it was finished, but the Lord let me know that this book was not finished. Jesus is my first love. I also dedicate this book to Bo Bledsoe, the love of my natural life, who died two years after our marriage

The Lord is my rock.

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you saith the Lord;

Thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

Then shall you call upon me and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.

—Jeremiah 29:11–12
