DEDICATION
To the One who knew me before I was born and yet chose my creation; the One who never ever left me in the worst times of my life; the One who gave me hope when I had no hope; the One who was my spiritual husband and best friend the many years I was alone; the One who is the Maker of Heaven and Earth; the One who walked with me through the valley of the shadow of death and saved my life; and the One who pulled me out of the mire and saved my soul: the One true Lord God Almighty, the real author of this book. Thank you, Lord! I love you!
I also know there are two more dedications that need mention (1) The loves of my life on earth, my daughters Tricia Tice DeWitt and Tara Tice Fleming. You have been with me all your lives, much of mine. You know me most intimately and walked much of my path with me, often to your disadvantage. (2) My precious former students in Huntsville, Harrison, and Mt. Judea, AR (Judy Tice Dees); Lavaca, AR (Judy Benham); and Fairbanks, AK (Judy Dees); and my oldest grandchild Cole DeWitt, whom I home schooled. All of you, in being so important to me, are woven into the tapestry of my life. I think I learned as much (if not more) from my children, grandchild, and students as they learned from me.
