A note about Daniel from a good friend:
Several times over the years, Daniel mentioned to me his struggle and quest to become “normal.”
Let us consider for a moment that he has been married to Theresa for nearly 40 years; he is a highly successful and respected architect who has completed many award-winning projects. Daniel is a graduate of an Ivy League University and a graduate from a highly respected seminary. He is an adjunct professor at a prestigious university in Southern California. He has served as an elder in his church and counselor and minister to many struggling souls. I don’t know what could be more “normal” except that his struggle to be “normal” has yielded a man who has surpassed normality into the category of the extraordinary.
