This is dedicated to my parents Elisha and Agnes Bowens. My parents distilled in me early in life the importance of GOD and Manhood. My mother and father along with the help of God developed me into being the man I have become today. My parents would always say that with God in my life everything was possible. I think about my story growing up in Eufaula Alabama and I have so much to be thankful for. I am thankful for my wife who continues to give me unconditional and genuine love, and my children who continue to receive spiritual blessings from God.
