DISCLAIMER




          During my last  two years of high school, let's see now, that was
     1968 through June of 1970 as I recall,  I discovered I loved to write.
     Actually, I knew it  when I was  13 years of age  but did very  little
     writing till  I was about 15 years  old.  As I was  saying, during the
     last two years of high school, I not only really  got into writing but
     I  had two  different English  teachers  try to  convince me  I should
     consider   writing  professionally.    I  figured  they  were  joking.
     Besides, they had no idea how hard writing was on a standard, I am not
     referring to an electric, typewriter as a totally blind person.

          When I got my first computer in December of 1989, the first thing
     I did was begin  to learn how to use a word  processor.  I immediately
     began writing.  Wow!  What a difference a computer made.

          Clicking  around  my  websites,  you  will discover  lots  of  E-
     articles, E-booklets,  E-books, and even  E-novels.   Yes, I've  tried
     publishing and even was  published nationally a  couple of times.   It
     was a semi-technical article about  a special design for an  antenna I
     made for my ham  radio hobby.  This  international ham radio  magazine
     published  my article and paid me  five dollars.  I  felt rich.  I had
     actually been  paid  for something  I  wrote.   It has  not  happened,
     unfortunately, since then.

          As I  began working  on this  book, a  very good  friend who  was
     helping me proof read the  manuscript, suggested that perhaps the Lord
     would use my first  Christian novel to financially provide for  me and
     my family.   That sounded good  to me because  it secretly had  always
     been my life's dream.   Once the Lord put me  into the ministry I  now
     have, I realized selling the book would mean people would have  to pay
     for it.  Brilliant, I know.  Finally  I made the decision to allow the
     book to be read for free.

          The purpose of what I am writing now is to let you know that I am
     not  a professional.   That means,  I'm not  really an author;  just a
     writer.  You'll find mistakes in  these pages because I find  mistakes
     every  time I read it.  So much  for having the manuscript edited.  At
     least I got to pick my own title even if I didn't get paid.

          I have written, and sold, ebooks on  the internet in the past and
     considered doing  that with this Christian novel but quickly dismissed
     it from my mind.  I just don't feel right about charging.  No, I don't
     mind if a  publisher reads the book and wants to  publish it and wants
     to pay me, too.  That  would be nice.  I still will  make it available
     on one  of my  websites  free of  charge, however.   Publishers,  even
     Christian publishers,  don't like you  doing that.   Why?  They  enjoy
     making a  profit.  I guess I can't blame them for that because I enjoy
     making a  profit myself.   Strange,  though, I  never seem  to make  a
     profit now that I work for the Lord.  One  nice perk being employed by
     Jesus is  that you can never  be fired.   Well, you can, if  you don't
     watch what you are doing, but I hope you get my drift.

          Yes,  if you find mistakes, feel free to email me.  I have caught
     several errors relating  to the time line  of events.  Just  about the
     time I  feel I have fixed  them all, another  appears.  I also  have a
     terrible habit  of not  capitalizing the first  letter in  a sentence.
     This is  especially true with words beginning with  the letter S or T,
     or any letter that requires using the  little finger on the right hand
     to press  the shift key.  The  little finger on my right  hand is weak
     and if I'm  not careful, certain words are  easily left uncapitalized.
     So let  me know if you  find such mistakes.  I  also paragraph poorly.
     This all means changes will be made frequently to the online book as I
     hear from others  who proof read and write  a whole lot better  than I
     do.

          Frankly, there is just a whole lot I really don't know about good
     writing but I  hope you  share your  knowledge with me  and more  than
     that, I hope  you enjoy the story  and that the Holy  Spirit ministers
     truth to you.
