About the Author
I am a retired pastor, Christian school teacher, and school administrator with over forty-five years in Gospel ministry. I have been married to Suzy Ayers since 1963. Together as foster parents, we have helped raise eleven children. After a serious illness and a long stay in the hospital, I felt I needed to exercise my gray matter to avoid complication from the medication. Writing was always a demand in my ministry but a very difficult task to accomplish. I felt led to try writing devotionals and e-mailing them to my friends and acquaintances. I then studied how to build a website to expand my circle of influence. The greatest challenge to my childhood fear of failure was this project. I want this to be a blessing and ultimately help many to teach others. 2 Timothy 2:2 (KJV) “And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.”
