It's Official!

It's official! Last night I submitted my resignation as Adult Education and Singles Pastor to pursue and develop a new ministry - ManHeart Ministries. MHM is designed to help guys - young or old, married or single - become the man God designed and desires them to be through retreats, weekend adventures, small group retreats, camps or any other manner God sees fit to use.

That means on June 1, 2007 I will be solely employed by ManHeart Ministries. This will allow me to travel, write, teach, and other ways hang with guys to help them in their pursuit of God, the woman in their life, and a small band of brothers.

To find out more click on the current version of the ministry's logo.



Want to do something to help? Glad you volunteered. The primary thing you can do right now is to pray. You can pray for the following:
  1. That I continue to hear God's voice
  2. Opportunities to speak and share
  3. Financial needs of the ministry
  4. Creativity while I write
  5. Understanding and wisdom as I study
  6. Steve Sparks and Scott White - they are currently serving as my leadership team
  7. I will guard my heart, mind, thoughts, eyes, ears, and tongue
To follow my adventure - and I do say that with a fear and trepidation, and a really big grin - stay tuned to this blog or the blog at ManHeart Ministries.

Won't you come along for the ride?
Mike

Camp is Good!

I'm home from a week at a student camp - Camp Chaparral . I was there teaching students how God created them for a place of ministry and encouraging them to involved - somehow. . .somewhere. I was also the guest of Pam & Steve Sparks. They are wonderful friends from my Lufkin days. Steve is the Assistant Director of the camp. Better give a shout out to the staff - Hey Mike, David, Heather, Doug, Tim, Nate, Govani (spelling?) - thanks for a great week. These guys work really, really hard to make your camp stay the greatest. And it was. But I'm exhausted! I'm beginning to wonder if I'm getting too old for this kind of thing? The worship was great - thanks to the brown band ! Hey Michell, Gabi, Rooster, Noah, and #14. They'll get it. Jon Randles really challenged us with his messages - 7 Marks of a Disciple . Need a speaker that speaks truth with wisdom? Get Randles. College or students. He's good. But the late nights and early mornings - WHEW!!

Question for You

I was listening to one of the local radio stations - kwyq, The Way FM, this morning on the way to the office. They were asking the question, "If you could live in a totally Christian community would you?" Responses varied. I would be interested in knowing what you think. So. . .I pose the question to you. . . If you could live in a totally Christian community would you? Why or why not? I can't wait to read your responses. Mike

Favorite Cereals

As I was scarfing down a bowl of Total I was thinking about my favorite cereals. Cereal has always been a part of our family - it didn't matter whether it was grabbing a bowl before school and sitting with my Grandpa as he at a bowl of Raisin Bran after church on Sunday nights. Growing up I had my faves. I would still eat them, but me and a lot of sugar in the morning is no bueno. As many of you can attest, it's not like I need more sugar! So I also have favorites now. Here's my list of favorite cereals: Then Cap'n Crunch - the original and all-time favorite, and breakfast with the Cap'n - how do you beat that? Frosted Flakes - don't get soggy in milk Peanut Butter Crunch - Cap'n Crunch and peanut butter, what's not to like? Wheat Chex - add a banana, mmmm. . .mmmmm. . .good! Now Total - good for you and doesn't get soggy too quickly Kellogg's Low Fat Granola without Raisins - good all around cereal Wheat Chex - still like me a bowl o
