God Hath Brought Us Together For Such A Time As This..............................................
Hello my name is Michael.

While I am online I listen to SGM Radio 128 kbps The Best In Todays Southern Gospel And Christian Country.
If you have come across this profile, Know that you are not here by accident. The Lord has directed your path so that He can speak to your heart right where you are. My prayer for you is that If you are not a Child of God and you have not asked Jesus to be Lord of your life and to come into your heart and live for all eternity that you will choose to do that now. It is not a difficult thing to do. He is waiting to begin a relationship with you. He loves you so deeply that you cannot imagine. He gave his life for you that you might live with him in heaven for all eternity. And he wants to develop a personal relationship with you while you are still here in this world. He wants to use you to make a difference in the lives of your loved ones and friends and those around you. All you have to do is PRAY... Sincerely from your heart. Confess that you are a sinner and Repent. Repentance means that you grieve your sin and that you are sorry for hurting the very Savior who paid such a huge price for those sins that hung him on that cross. Then all you have to do is tell him that you love him and you want to serve him all the days of your life. Then Go, and begin to Serve him with ALL your Heart, Soul, and Might!!! Find a church that teaches Gods Word... The Bible. Pray, And whatever you do... stay in Gods Word. This is where he will speak to your heart. God says in his word, "Call upon me and I will show you Great and Mighty things that you know not" So.... Cry out to Jesus. "Seek him and you will find him ,IF you seek him with your WHOLE HEART!!" May you find peace and joy and a solid foundation as you serve him. God Bless. For those of you who are Christians.. May you find hope, encouragement, and rest for your souls. May you grow in him everyday.
Don't forget... He is your Source........................HE IS YOUR FATHER OF SECOND CHANCES.
A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF
Born raised in Indiana on a small farm with three younger brothers....their accounts of what happened during those years may very............LOL.
I have two beautiful daughters Tara 22 who is now married to Charlie an awesome son-in-law and lives in Iowa attending the University of Iowa and Larissa who is 19 attending Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, she has a wonderful friend named Adam and I figure he will be a son-in-law sometime soon.
I am a focused driven dependable Man Of God. You only get one shot to be you, so do what you do and do it well. Don't wait for someone to encourage you, encourage yourself. don't wait for someone to open a door open it yourself. You are a gift to all you come in contact with . Stay strong find your purpose and you will find the reason you were created......
I have a huge heart. I'm free but I'm focused. I'm blessed beyond words. I'm compassionate in all i say and do. I'm real and perfectly content with who i am.
God called me back in 1982 to work with those less fortunate than myself that road took me down the road to the Div of Family and Children as a Caseworker in IN for 6 years then off to Manage a half way program in Chicago then back again to Coordinate the Welfare to Work Program in IN. Then later moving to Kentucky where I managed a group home facility. My call took on a more specific meaning and it was to work with those who can't speak for themselves which then led to what I do now as a Habilitation Care Supervisor at a state of the art facility in Dayton, OH. You might find me most any Sat or Sun behind a sound board at some Church and you never know at one of the concerts your at I just might be behind that sound board. Love running sound some how I inherited this ear for good music. Some call me the Sound Dr but really I am just getting a free concert and can make it sound just the way I want it to. I suppose a few producers influence what I do but then by the time they complain it's over with.
My work up until this point has pretty much set the pace of my life in many ways and that being good and bad. God has richly blessed me by allowing me to do what I do.
The whole sum and purpose of this site is to get people to take a stand. It's time to get out of the boat and walk on the water....it's time to take a stand. Burn the boats....learn to walk. Experience Real Faith.
If you drink the C stuff we just might have issues. It's PEPSI all the way for me. A fine can of PEPSI a hot GM car of some sort and well the rest is left to the imagination. Just take a minute to listen to the song. What a message it has.

My Interests



I really relate to this song a little guy growing up in Jonesboro, IN at Main Street Wesleyan Church I remember those days people ran the aisles they didn't know what charismatic was then. They just knew how to worship.
Another awesome song that still speaks to my soul....Oh Say But I Am Glad.

“ I hope you enjoy the music as much as I have I will add to it on a frequent basis. I love my Southern Gospel but I also love my Praise and Worship. Never stop praising Him. We serve an Awesome God that is able to do exceedingly great things in our life. Let's Praise Him.

My interest huh....you know where I grew up we had this woods that connected to another and that to another you could walk for hours and listen to the beauty of God. I still enjoy that. Being a farm boy and still being one at heart I love getting my hands dirty now and then at a farm. Working with a horse for some 4-H kid that just needs that extra touch to get that horse to make all the right moves. Horse shows,and Dairy Shows. ............................................................ ....................................................
Now does that sound boring hmmm spend a day on a farm and well then you will know where I am coming from. Go down to my friend Dan and Floyd's farm their parlor is a double twenty-five parallel parlor and the milking herd was up to 1000. Milking nearly a round the clock operation. Tractor Pulls especially when the John Deere's show up to kick IH butt.
Love cars will to the day I die. I have had my share of cars in my lifetime most notable would of been the 71 Torino GT, 77 Trans Am, 87 IROC Camaro all the rest were just GM cars. I sometimes reflect back to those days when Gene and I cruised Indiana Wesleyan he in his 69Z and me in my 77 Trans Am wow those were the days.
Then he had to introduce me to flying. Wow now that's how you got a date once I got my license everyone wanted to go up. I suppose that's where I got the need for speed for altitude for the quietness when you shut down that engine in a puffy cloud open the window and just listen, pull her up just to the point of a stall and then just let that nose down. Just for a brief moment you can see and hear more of what God has made. Do you ever doubt your God, gzzzzzzzzz just look around if He could part the red Sea turn water into wine die on a cross and rise 3 days later woooooooooo my I love everything that goes fast, the faster the higher it goes I have to be in it and experience it.I guess I have been fortunate enough to have experienced those things. For six years I drove the 06 PEPSI Pontiac/Atkinson Motor sports car and competed in several different circuits. I gave that up when I noticed I just didn't have that edge anymore. I was just going to comment on my interest and look what happens. Just take a minute and listen to God, in this noisy world we live in sometimes it is hard to hear the voice of God. Just listen it's an awesome gift to have. God can take care of all of Michael's problems.

I'd like to meet:

Only Gonna Never Die - Ricky Atkinson & Compassion

LISTEN TO YOUR HEART

GIVE LIFE

Music:



Movies:


Creative Spiritz

Television:



God has given us the Holy Spirit, who fills our hearts with his love.”
Romans 5:5 CEV

Isn’t it good to know that even when we don’t love with a perfect love, he does? God always nourishes what is right. He always applauds what is right. He has never done wrong, led one person to do wrong, or rejoiced when anyone did wrong. For he is love.

Books:



Life is a Story. This is true for every soul.
It is a love story, we assure you. But it is set in the midst of a life and death battle. That is why it seems so hard.
The story of your life is the story of the journey of your heart through a dangerous and beautiful world. It is the story of the long and sustained assault on your heart by the Enemy who knows who you could be and fears you. But it is also the story of the long and mysterious pursuit of your heart by the God who knows you truly and loves you deeply.

Heroes:

Jesus Christ hands down. My daughters Tara and Larissa and my brothers Mark, Maurice and Myron we are survivors. I am proud of them all...... My heroes have been those I serve because they are overcomer's in so many ways. Take the time to share your life with someone.

Someone once wrote, "Life is hard". Everywhere we go, we run into broken people. Many of them don't want to admit that they have been turning their back on God and living for themselves. Then what happens? Enter Nick. Instantly you can see his love for Christ. He has been radically changed. That means that there is hope. This area of the web site should help you to become inspired. To become filled with hope once again. No matter what has happened, God has proven that He loves us. The video below I hope helps you regain perspective. nick

99 days of life and love...

It has been said that you can't really love God unless you love His church. You can't passionately want to serve Him unless you are willing to serve His bride. Jesus said "I'm telling the solemn truth: Whenever you did one of these things (feed the hungry, make room for the homeless, cloth the naked, visit the sick and imprisoned) to someone overlooked or ignored, that was me - you did it to me." (Mathew 25:40 - The Message) God's people are messy. We are sometimes hungry and instead of filling our voids with God we turn to other things. We often times feel like we don't fit in and we are lonely. We aren't comfortable in our own skin and find ourselves sick and imprisoned in our own worlds - sometimes because of bad choices and sometimes just because. We have issues and baggage and God still really, really loves us. And he tells us to love one another!
Eighty-five times he's pushed his disabled son, Rick, 26.2 miles in Marathons. Eight times he's not only pushed him 26.2 miles in a Wheelchair but also towed him 2.4 miles in a dinghy while swimming and Pedaled him 112 miles in a seat on the handlebars--all in the same day.Dick's also pulled him cross-country skiing, taken him on his back Mountain climbing and once hauled him across the U.S. On a bike. Makes Taking your son bowling look a little lame, right?And what has Rick done for his father? Not much--except save his life. This love story began in Winchester , Mass. , 43 years ago, when Rick Was strangled by the umbilical cord during birth, leaving him Brain-damaged and unable to control his limbs."He'll be a vegetable the rest of his life;'' Dick says doctors told him And his wife, Judy, when Rick was nine months old. ....Put him in an Institution.''But the Hoyts weren't buying it. They noticed the way Rick's eyes Followed them around the room. When Rick was 11 they took him to the Engineering department at Tufts University and asked if there was Anything to help the boy communicate. ....No way,'' Dick says he was told. ....There's nothing going on in his brain.''"Tell him a joke,'' Dick countered. They did. Rick laughed. Turns out a Lot was going on in his brain. Rigged up with a computer that allowed Him to control the cursor by touching a switch with the side of his Head, Rick was finally able to communicate. First words? ....Go Bruins!'' And after a high school classmate was paralyzed in an accident and the School organized a charity run for him, Rick pecked out, ....Dad, I want To do that.''Yeah, right. How was Dick, a self-described ....porker'' who never ran More than a mile at a time, going to push his son five miles? Still, he Tried. ....Then it was me who was handicapped,'' Dick says. ....I was sore For two weeks.''That day changed Rick's life. ....Dad,'' he typed, ....when we were running, It felt like I wasn't disabled anymore!''And that sentence changed Dick's life. He became obsessed with giving Rick that feeling as often as he could. He got into such hard-belly Shape that he and Rick were ready to try the 1979 Boston Marathon.....No way,'' Dick was told by a race official. The Hoyts weren't quite a Single runner, and they weren't quite a wheelchair competitor. For a few Years Dick and Rick just joined the massive field and ran anyway, then They found a way to get into the race Officially: In 1983 they ran another marathon so fast they made the Qualifying time for Boston the following year.Then somebody said, ....Hey, Dick, why not a triathlon?''How's a guy who never learned to swim and hadn't ridden a bike since he Was six going to haul his 110-pound kid through a triathlon? Still, Dick Tried.Now they've done 212 triathlons, including four grueling 15-hour Ironmans in Hawaii . It must be a buzzkill to be a 25-year-old stud Getting passed by an old guy towing a grown man in a dinghy, don't you Think?Hey, Dick, why not see how you'd do on your own? ....No way,'' he says. Dick does it purely for ....the awesome feeling'' he gets seeing Rick with A cantaloupe smile as they run, swim and ride together.This year, at ages 65 and 43, Dick and Rick finished their 24th Boston Marathon, in 5,083rd place out of more than 20,000 starters. Their best Time? Two hours, 40 minutes in 1992--only 35 minutes off the world Record, which, in case you don't keep track of these things, happens to Be held by a guy who was not pushing another man in a wheelchair at the Time.....No question about it,'' Rick types. ....My dad is the Father of the Century.''And Dick got something else out of all this too. Two years ago he had a Mild heart attack during a race. Doctors found that one of his arteries Was 95% clogged. ....If you hadn't been in such great shape,'' One doctor told him, ....you probably would've died 15 years ago.'' So, in a way, Dick and Rick saved each other's life.Rick, who has his own apartment (he gets home care) and works in Boston, and Dick, retired from the military and living in Holland, Mass. , always find ways to be together. They give speeches around the country and compete in some backbreaking race every weekend, including this Father's Day.That night, Rick will buy his dad dinner, but the thing he really wants to give him is a gift he can never buy.....The thing I'd most like,'' Rick types, ....is that my dad sit in the chair and I push him once.''
