Happy Birthday Ed!

We celebrate birthdays here in a couple of different ways. Most of the time we go out to a favorite western restaurant to eat or have cake here. Chinese birthday cake is far more ornate and beautiful then anything you've seen before, usually entire baskets of fruits and edible jewelry are involved. However, we did none of those by request of our oldest full time active facilitator, Ed, who turns 80 years old today. Ed is a great and patient man who is full of wisdom and the experiences of man who served over forty years in Africa, retired, and then came to Asia because, in his words, "I wasn't quite dead yet." God bless you, Ed. I hope if I make it to eight decades, I can be half the man you are.
