I want to first thank God for the inspiration and guidance to use me to share him with the world. I thank my parents Thomas Wallace and Sylvia Lewis and Bettie Wallace for instilling in me that I can do what’s best for me. I thank Bishop Donald Wright for teaching me to have a relationship with God and for his famous quote,”I only got to be saved for today. I would also like to thank Sara McClam assisting me in organizing and making sure I carried this book out. To my daughter Manaiya Cladd who inspired me to live, and all my family and friends.
