The writing of this took place in the midst of joys and burdens sickness and excitement. It took place in the midst of urban flirting within churches; in places like Jamaica; Germany; Las Vegas; Lake Mead; Switzerland; France; our cabin in the Poconos Pennsylvania; Churchville Maryland; at our parents' home in Lake Waccamaw North Carolina and Hallsboro North Carolina; Hampton Ministers' Conference in Hampton Virginia; and along the seashores of Myrtle Beach South Carolina. But now it is yours and prayerfully to the glory of God ready to give a blessing to the reader. Again I am thankful for Mrs. McMillan's patience and gentle encouragement all of which I needed for I am a man who spread on lots of words on a table and needed someone to sort them out and present them as I intended.
