A strong desire to quit usually occurs before the greatest breakthrough of your life is about to take place.

A life well lived is your best revenge. Instead of focusing on wounded feelings and giving the person who caused you pain power over you, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you. Forgiveness is about personal power. -Dr. Fred Luskin

Wow! Stepped back in time 1000 years here at medieval city of Bhaktaur Nepal where "Little Buddha" was filmed.

Back at Delhi Airport heading to Kathmandu, Nepal. Really looking forward to this leg of the adventure! Have Sword, Will Travel!

Finally got a good night's sleep last night! Now breakfast, then head to Delhi Airport for flight to Kathmandu Nepal!

Our driver just got his license taken by the police for parking in the middle of the road and for sassing back to the police. They were pointing guns at him and hitting him, and took his keys and license. We're stuck until we get another car to the Delhi airport!

Incredible shows again tonight at Wesley Degree College in Hyderabad! Great audience of over 2500! Looking forward to tomorrow night's show, but not my dentist visit tomorrow morning!

Survived daredevil motorcycle ride across Hyderabad last night dodging buses, cows, people, rickshaws - without helmet or shoes, but with 10 liters of Benzine dangling from handlebars! Hope we got enough fuel to light stage on fire all 4 nights!

Yesterday's highlights in Hyderabad included seeing Char Minar again and performing at St. Francis Women's College (what a GREAT audience!), and leading worship and performing at Hyderabad Baptist (what a great volunteer!) Last night's big adventure was riding from Begumpet to Secunderabad on a motorcycle dodging cows and people while zigzagging thru traffic! Today's highlights included performing at St. Phillip's school and Oak Ridge International School (AWESOME audience!) And tonight's big adventure was going to the dentist and getting 2 teeth crowned in India! What a day of experiences!

Kodaikanal lake

The lake at Kodaikanal - very interesting place, cool and peaceful. Enjoyed touring the International school here again after 34 years!
