Special thanks goes to Dr. Don Hull who is a dear friend to my whole family. In our spiritual

journey together of love and encouragement.

Finally, I deliver my heartfelt love and thanks to my wife, Kyung Sook. I am indebted to her

for her love, prayers, wisdom, and endurance. I also give thanks to my dear little sons, Hayoung,

Hamin, and Harim who were willing to sacrifice their lawful time to play with their supported

me with unconditional love. I could never repay their love and sacrifice. I share thanks and joy

with my whole family—my brothers, and my sisters- in-low.

Most of all, I thank God for his calling upon my life and his subsequent uncasing love and

guidance. I will praise him forever and ever to the last breach of my life.!
