Introduction

For Love of God, Patriotism, and All Things Four-Legged could also have been the title of this book.

Everything written in this book is true. It is a story of God's great love and grace in one person's life. This is also a story of God's great blessings of Christian parents who took the time to teach honest values and virtues to their children. It is a story of great love for family, for America, and for friends. The story includes some amazing horses and one incredible dog. It is the story of loss, grief, and of life's lessons learned. Above all, I wrote it in gratitude to the good Lord for allowing me to live out my life in the shadow of His wings.
