To Allison, Nick, Jeff Wong, Chris Wilson, Brian, Vicki, Young, Christine, Erin, the Magsigs and McGregors (Aaron, Andrew, Diana and Baby Daniel): Thanks for bringing me through a tough time, showing true friendship along the way.
So many helped in the creation and completion of this book, whether reading the manuscript (even in its sloppy, first-draft form), copyediting or providing artwork and design. Special thanks to Brian Godawa, Jeff Still, Deb Schleusener, Robbye Schroeder, Deborah Chi, Seh Kim, the two Lauras (W & L), Angie, Patti and Michelle.
Thanks to the Hornaks, Barrs, Godawas and Schroeders. Thanks to Damon, Mike Song, Tyree, Nate, Raj and B.P. I lean on you guys, and you support the weight. Thanks to Vickie, for starting me on this journey.
Thanks to Marshall, Rankin and the staff at Pacific Crossroads. Jesus said, “When I am lifted up, I will draw all men to myself.” May the church never lose sight. To those in my community group: You guys are superstars. Thanks for letting me lead you.
A special thanks to Cindy P, for a well-timed introduction.
And, most importantly, to HK (the Jessie of this story)…you brightened my days.
