Coincidentally, I just received a sad tiding about two indian students at clemson, usa passing away during a plane crash. I myself is also very similar to them being a student in USA for further studies. This came as shock to me - reminding me of the *raw* truth of how short our life and our purpose in this life .... Yesterday, there was a poster sale here at my university, where i saw a poster which said - "Live as if this was you last day" ... how would i live if this was our last day ? how would you ? >From: Jude Asogwa >Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: [JOYnet] Doing Exploit >Date: Thu, 9 Jan 2003 12:16:33 -0800 (PST) > >Doing Exploits in the name of the Lord (wisdom for >Excellence) > > In the book of Daniel, the scripture says “…..
