Acknowledgments

[As written in the self-published book Daily Bridges to God by Mildred V. Wheat]

“Forty-five years as a professional Christian educator have taught me that we are dependent on many others. Without the example and encouragement of friends from eight congregations, there would have been nothing to write in this book.

Many of these messages began as devotional thoughts for women’s circle meetings. Some spring from sermons delivered; others are newly minted. All are products of a life-long learning experience in the church. To the saints in Wilkinsburg and West Middletown, PA; New Concord, Norwich, Belle Center and Washington Court House, OH; Greenwich and McLean, VA; and Washington DC: my heartfelt thanks for love and encouragement freely given.

Three people have been especially helpful to this effort: Betty Smith, my former colleague at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church, who read some early pages; Marcia Baumann, my friend and fellow Camp Fire leader, who continued to prod me toward completion; and Allan Cors, who made use of some work in progress.

Finally, to Jerry Wheat, my friend, my husband, and, for many years, my pastor, my thanks for patient support and encouragement.”
