Probably the most special words I have in my possession come from my grade-school friend who was tragically killed in college while raising money for disabled children. Some think of it simply as a terrible accident. Those who knew Todd just a bit better knew that he was actually a Saint sent down from Heaven to bring God's goodness to this world. To my lifelong friend and spiritual mentor whom I still regularly think about more than 10 yrs after his exit from this world. We have a higher purpose!

Todd Porterfield's Personal MIssion statement

1. I will always attempt to accept people for who they are and where they are at. I will place myself in their situation as best I can and see things from their perspectives. The only way I will attempt to change anyone is through direct contact and example, and I will never expect anyone to change for me.

2. In the same light I will not change for anyone but myself. I will not change until I know it is beneficial for my own moral sta
