Mike's blogging

Hello to all those out in our blogosphere (new term I stole from a buddy, thanks Ben)! I’ve been wondering a while, “Now that we have a blog, what in the world am I going to say?” Well, I’m not sure I know yet, but here’s my first try, an overview of sorts of the things that are either important to me or on my mind for at least the next few seconds…

For starters, I’m convinced the spiritual world is far more real than what we can understand now. Jesus believed it, and He’s pretty much as awesome as they come. I struggle to live well in this “already, not yet” reality, but that’s where we are. I want more Jesus. Even though I already have Him, I know there’s more, and am pretty well ruined for anything less, anything else.

My wife is utterly fantastic. She is more beautiful, complex, thoughtful, intelligent, and fun than I could have ever hoped for in a bride. I made out like a bandit and will forever strive to give as much as I have to offer. What a joy to love her forever.

Drawing back a bow and releasing a well-placed arrow is a simple pleasure that I will never tire of. Getting extremely close to animals unaware of your presence is such a rush – I love it!

I have little aspiration of greatness. I want to be faithful, and full of faith, and am grateful that these aren’t fully dependent on me.

Next time, I’ll say something other than just about me. Thanks for reading. Be right with Jesus.

Mike
