Traveled to Calcutta, India for a two week humanitarian trip in 2005. Visited villagers in their homes in rice patties. No electric or running water. They used dried cow pies for fuel to cook food. (We stayed at a compound that had electric and food that we could handle) They were happy people and welcomed us with open arms. Made me realize how rich all Americans are. Realize that possessions are not that important.
Traveled to Hong Kong, Thailand, Taiwan, Africa, India, Cancun, Hawaii, and in the states. Love to travel.

Proverbs 3:5-7

and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make your paths straight.
1 Corinthians 10:13
13 No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.

Happy Birthday Paul!
Happy Birthday Scott....
I enjoyed talking with Dan at the 40th reunion. He was treated cruely by many... what a shame. Unfortunately this type of behavior is common with students and continues for some into adulthood. In this day of social media this cruelty can be even worse.
It is a testiment to Dan that he perservered through the razzing. I pray that he is in heaven with our Lord and Savior.... where there are no more tears, no more illness, just the blessing of being in the presence of God.
