Dedication

To my faithful wife and life partner, Susan, and to Elohim, the triune God who created me, sought me out, came in human form to reveal Himself to me, and continues to convict, correct, encourage, guide, and undergird all that I am and do and hope to be.

May my teaching drop as the rain, my speech distill as the dew, like gentle rain upon the tender grass, and like showers upon the herb.

Deuteronomy 32.2

Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so he may run who reads it. For still the vision awaits its appointed time; it hastens to the end—it will not lie. If it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay. 

Habakkuk 2:2-3

The Lord is good to all, and his mercy is over all that he has made. All your works shall give thanks to you, O Lord, and all your saints shall bless you! They shall speak of the glory of your kingdom and tell of your power, to make known to the children of man your mighty deeds, and the glorious splendor of your kingdom.

Psalm 145:9-12
