Hyderabad is crowded, noisy, and mostly friendly.

Here's my view from a mini-taxi. There are no road laws in Hyderabad. Crossing a street in Hyderabad is like playing Frogger except more air pollution. I found a restaurant yesterday with food that doesn't burn holes through my intestine. Chicken Kandahar is my friend. =) Have you heard the stereotype that Indians are great at hospitality but bad tippers? It's true. The people I'm visiting with go out of their way to make me welcome, walking around with me, or fetching me coffee, or showing me to restaurants. Then after dinner at the restaurant when I pay the bill they usually take half the tip I leave and put it back in my wallet. =)

When we are in heaven we won't have the chance to give God that gift. Bill's teaching reaffirmed this ongoing theme that suffering matters.

Fortunately during the second bout of prayer his knee healed completely. V...

Updated Portfolio Page is Here

I recently finished an exploration of technologies to create a portfolio and settled on hosting on Github pages with a Bootstrap template. It will be a hot minute before I get the template between www.darianhickman.com and my portfolio page https://darianhickman.github.io/ in sync but here it is:
