       Special thanks:

      To Bert Ghezzi for his encouragement to “start writing” so many years ago, and for giving the Holy Spirit yet another opportunity to “wreck me” with His love and His Gospel.

      To Rachel Peñate (for her holy editorial eye and worn-out backspace key), without whom the world would be forced to endure an unfathomable amount of parentheses, hyphens and constant ellipses flowing forth from my keyboard …

      To Father Bob Schreiner for helping me sort out Spirit-led inspiration from personal assumption, and for reintroducing me to the beauty of the mystics.

      To my gorgeous wife, Melanie, who repeatedly shows me the face of Christ’s mercy, forgiveness, and compassion in our daily walk.

      It would take a library of books to express my love and appreciation for you and, even then, simple words would not suffice.

      You are the greatest gift the Lord has ever entrusted to me.

      Thank you for the unseen sacrifices you make — and for helping me to become the man God calls me to be.

      ∼

      To our beautiful and incredible children: Hope, Faith, Trinity, and Josiah.

      May you pursue the Lord with boldness, approach Him in humility, embrace Him with passion, and worship Him with abandon.

      You four have taught me more about the love of the Father than any saint could ever hope to do. Thank you for the privilege of calling myself your daddy.
