Song: Andrew Peterson: The Ninety and Nine The Ninety and Nine (youtube.com) Oddly enough, the real “lowest point:” When I was 20 I think, my grandmother had a pretty serious stroke. I never knew what strokes were of course. I thought they were mini-heart attacks. I went up to the hospital...

Song: Michael W. Smith: I Miss the Way Michael W. Smith-I Miss the Way (youtube.com) My “Prodigal’s Son” detour: I fell about as fast as I was lifted up originally, but I did not know it. When I was fired from the band, I pretty much left the church as well. Shortly after leaving the...

Song: Caedmon’s Call: Lead of Love Caedmon's Call - Lead Of Love (youtube.com) My initial Salvation: I would like to say that when I first got saved, everything was fine from then on. Well, it was… at first anyway. Not that it didn’t come without hiccups though. When I first got saved and...

From age 20 to age 24, I was horribly lost. It all came to a head at my last time playing chicken… with my boss this time … and the most dangerous time. I was now working at the Amarillo Town Club. During the summer months, I was one of three lifeguard managers. We had one time per year...

Song: The Escape Club: I’ll Be There (The Escape Club - I'll Be There (HD) (youtube.com) ) The dark times: I met Amy in January of ’91 when I was 19. We got to be friends right away, but I fell in love with her from the beginning. By March, I made it known that I wanted something more, but...

Ugh! For the second time in 3 years, I thought I was going to be arrested! Then I looked out and saw Mike screaming through the parking lot and walking furiously up to the entrance. I remember asking one of the officers, “Can you arrest me now? I would rather have to explain that to my...

Song: I Spoke As A Child (youtube.com) by Todd Snider The early years. I considered much of my early life pretty routine at first. I didn’t have anyone to compare it with, so I thought it was okay. I had two older sisters… one was five years older and the other was a year and a half older...

Over time, I have more than a few people tell me how I should write a book. On the one hand, it was something I have always wanted to do but I would start strong only to have it fizzle out in the end. When I tried to go back to the same stories and fix whatever had gone wrong, I tended to make...

Okay. This is my testimony... and a long one at that. I wrote about it in my greeting post, but if you did not read that... Three years ago, my pastor asked me if I would get up in front of my church to give my testimony. I laughed and told him that even if my voice cooperated, there was no...

And this is the part that requires an explanation although I didn't actually know about this. Since I can't work because of my stroke, I spend everyday up at the church volunteering. One of the guys that I closely work beside made the comment that sometimes he gets awful looks when he tells...

I love this song! It is one of those songs that we sing most Sundays. Here is another version of the same song.

Thanks you both!

Yeah. I have always been this way, but I am much more "this way" than normal these days. I used to really enjoy getting up and talking... into a microphone that is. "How can that be," you ask? Because if you are standing up in front of a crowd that is so large that you have to use a mic...

I'm with everyone when I say, "Just 5?!?!?" /sigh Here you go... The Waiting - Never Dim (youtube.com) Rich Mullins - Hold Me Jesus (with Introduction) (youtube.com) Come Thou Fount (Official Music Video) | Celtic Worship (youtube.com) Carry You (youtube.com) (2) Casting Crowns - Who Am I...

I will just start out with a basic "hello." I usually have a lot to say but slowly over time, I got really shy and quiet about even posting on websites. Over time, I will loosen up and post more... probably more than anyone will want to hear (or see as it were). :p I will say this, and it is...

Hmm. Don't think so, but I might. There are several "Mike's" that I never caught their last names. Is he still in Amarillo?
