Noel Richardson is perfect, but degrees, wealth, and good genes don't define a man. The CEO of a St. Louis non-profit organization, Noel doesn't respond when women whisper compliments behind his back. It's only God's voice Noel hears. <P>His life has been anything, but easy since surviving a fireworks explosion that kills his best friend and shatters his hearing. That's in his past. He's learned to co-exist between two worlds--hearing and Deaf. Living in the Deaf community isn't easy. There are constant reminders that Noel is a distinct outsider.<P>For years, his Sunday morning worship consisted of tele-evangelists. Spiritually, he was dying from the lack of fellowship. What could he do? Very few churches had what he needed. Then Noel stumbles across an invitation flashing on a portable sign: <I>Thanksgiving service.
