GOT IT!
It is official folks. I am a legal driver in the nation of Bolivia! To celebrate I am going to PAR – TAY with my girl friends tomorrow night. Yes!!!
The back has a bar code, a number, the type of license it is and reads:
Mister Driver. Do not be reckless. The life you save could [...]

I like to use the analogy of a car, naturally. When steering [...]
Driver Log Day 3

You drop off your request one day and pick it up in about 2 [...]
On this journey of life, sharing my existence with God’s wonderful creation, there is nothing that thrills my heart more than knowing that my moments drip with purpose and destiny.
