Dedication |
To:
My wife Salomè:
“Every great and grand act of God among men, and every minor miracle in the coarse of our days comes to pass by God’s design, not because the human being wills it to be so” (Munien, 1998:44). |
We have come through many challenges. The path to success has not been easy. We have endured much emotion, joy, heartache, and received many blessings. Thank you for being available to help me, and nearby when I needed support. The Lord God gave you to me! We dreamt about this concept, tried our best in developing it. Now we require the rain from God. I appreciate all your love and assistance.
