"In Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith. As many of you as were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew or Greek, slave or free, male and female; for all of you are one in Christ Jesus" (Galatians 3:26-28, emphasis added).

To Lavernia May and Milton Samuel Cowles,
Partners in Ministry,
To whom I owe my biological existence and my life in Christ.
