    Joyce Yates

    Joyce Yates, originally from Poplar Bluff, Missouri, now resides in the suburbs of St. Louis, Missouri. She is a graduate of the Southeast Missouri State University in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, where she received a Bachelor of Science degree in elementary education and a Master’s degree in special education. She worked as a speech pathologist and special education teacher. She was married to Earnie on February 18, 1951, in Fisk, Missouri. At the time of marriage Earnie was a student at the University of Missouri-Columbia and Joyce worked as a secretary at the University of Missouri-Columbia. Earnie was a member of the University of Missouri Air Force ROTC, and upon graduation in 1953, he entered the Air Force flight training program. He earned his wings and remained in the Air Force for ten years before retiring. Thereafter, he obtained his Master’s Degree in education and administration from the Southeast Missouri State University. He taught in elementary and secondary education before retiring in 1992 after thirty years of teaching. He was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s just a short four years after retirement. Joyce and Earnie are the parents of five children. They have eleven grandchildren, nineteen great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild. Joyce enjoys her family, friends, bible class and writing. She remains hopeful that a cure for Alzheimer’s disease will be discovered. Earnie passed away on February 17, 2009, at 11:35 pm., ten years after his diagnosis and only twenty-five minutes before their fifty-eighth wedding anniversary.

      Endnotes

      To Marie (Mimi) Yates, my mother-in-law, who has served God and people for as long as I have known her. She truly is a living embodiment of abiding in Christ. Mimi’s reservation has been made for many years, and she looks forward to that final trip in full confidence of meeting her loving Lord. Presently, ninety-four years of faith and love surround her daily.

      Preface

      I believe people in today’s world are not concerned about eternity. Our last breath may come today, tomorrow, or sometime in the more distant future. We don’t know when it will come, and that is why we need to prepare.

The Lord has placed a desire in my heart to write a book that highlights eternity and His love and forgiveness.
