By Carmen Beck

Endnotes

Acknowledgments

To those who started this journey with me and those who will see it to the end, thank you for every step, prod, and prayer. For every interruption allowed to me during your family vacations; lunch dates; work, weekend, and midnight hours, I am very much appreciative. I thank you for your encouraging words and sound advice. And for that which you gave and may have considered a little, I want you to know I always looked at it as much. You are indeed my people, my persons, my family, my friends. I love you.

Forever grateful I am to my Father in heaven. I thank You for the stirring of Your Holy Spirit and for all that has been poured into me; and for the end result of words, words, words that usher forth hope, peace, and joy and remind me of greater things to come for my soul. I look forward to seeing You on the other side!
