He became a polar bear by swimming in the Arctic Ocean, climbed Machu Picchu and became a life master in Bridge. He served as a Stephen's minister, and sang in many church Choirs. Paul lived and trusted his life in God's hands. We can hear these words being said "Well done good and faithful servant."
