Tomorrow is the sixth anniversary of Dad's death

I have posted the video I created as a tribute to Dad's life on Vimeo at  David Dodican Porter.
The video does not do justice to the extraordinary truth of Dad's influence on people around him nor the complexity of who he was.  His legacy lives on in scores of people who were affected by knowing him.  

He is missed every day.

A reminder that David Dodican Porter's birthday

is coming up.   July 28th, a week from today.   I urge anyone reading this to go outside and contemplate a cloud.   To offer to buy a meal for someone who is asking for help.   To question one of my own assumptions about what is true and right.    To make a very bad pun on the spur of the moment.  To take a pencil and draw a diagram to help a child understand something they observed around them.   To make pancakes for Sunday breakfast with whatever ingredients were hanging about in your refrigerator.  To take a serious moment to express your gratitude to your Creator for your life and all that comes with it. 

He will grin if you do.
