Acknowledgments Jesus, my Savior, if I can follow you like a little sheep, I�ll always be safe. Thank-you for hearing my prayers and giving me this writing talent. Thanks to my parents, for listening as I unfolded my ideas about this �new story� I was working on, for proof-reading, occasionally brainstorming, and being the strongest supporters of getting this published. Thanks to Harrison, Alexandria, Brittany, Garrett and Mary; you guys are greats sibs and I love you. Ariel has a little of all of you in her. Thanks to Steve, Sarah, Kate, Jani, Rebekah, Ashley Young--you guys are my �Hobbit� friends, with me on this journey of life. Like Frodo said, I�m glad to have you all with me, even to the end. Steve, you are an encouragement whenever I need one, and you always make me laugh. Sarah, you weren�t afraid to give a lot of tough reviews of this story. Thanks. Ashley, thanks for going through the whole thing and giving so much feedback! Thanks for all the feedback on Trace, especially.
