RIP Mr. Purwin. May God welcome you home.

Prayers for the love of Christ and comfort of the Holy Ghost for the family and those affected.

Another example of how tomorrow is guaranteed to no one, and you just never know.

The drive from Medellin to Sante Fe de Antioquia is long and the road passes thru one of the longest tunnels in the world.
High mountains and cross winds...sudden mountain storms. Beautiful area. Ive spent a lot of time there. Well worth visiting.

BTW the Colombians arent too happy about another Pablo Escobar movie. They are trying to forge ahead and put the violent past behind them.
