ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
I feel deeply privileged to have had the honor of working on the Ph.D. at the University
of North Texas. Many people have contributed to this effort. Those people believed in my
abilities, giving me encouragement and support when both were badly needed. I am especially
grateful to Dr. Gary Cook, President of Dallas Baptist University, for challenging me to embark
on this journey and then providing encouragement andresources to finish this research. Working
with him has been an honor. Others at Dallas Baptist University to whom I express my deepest
thanks are Dr. Gail Linam, Linda Roney, Dr. Beverly Giltner, Dr. Bob Colton, Dr. Jim
Underwood, Shirley Mitchell, Dr. Chip Ricketts, and Dr. Denny Dowd.
I also acknowledge my wife, Debbie Sims, who has been constant in her encouragement
and support, patient during times of stress, and calming in times of crisis.She made our home a
refuge so that I could carry on my research and writing in peace. I am grateful that she saw my
potential when we were younger.
I acknowledge my parents, Jim and Marliene Sims, and my father and mother inlaw,
Richard and Shirley Gregory. Although they could not understand why I have been a student for
most of my adult life, they encouraged me and gave good advice when it was needed. I express
appreciation for my brothers, Roger and Paul, and brothers-in-law, Bill, Jim, John, and Paul. My
late sister, Linda, and my sisters-in-law, Susan and Patty, have been a treasure to me during this
time.
To Dr. Linda Schamber, my advisor and Chair of the dissertation committee, I extend my
most sincere gratitude for guiding me through the process of achieving this degree. Her advice
and patience have helped me tremendously. Without her help I would have been lost in thisiii
