>My name is Michael. I have a family w 2 grown daughters at home and a young border. We are very active in more than one church. We sing in our church choir and with a local vocal group. I am active as a Healing MInister, training as a catechist for Catechesis of the Good Shepherd. I volunteer at a local elementary school as well. I participate in making lunches for a local charity group that helps former addicts a way back in to society. I try to provide charity whenever possible and whenever needed. I grew up with a music background in a boy choir. I took piano lessons. I sang with my father for 35 years in church and in high school. I have a delivery business, however, I am looking to change careers because of low profit and too many hours on the road and early hours. I am looking for a closer relationship with Jesus, seeking his will for my life. It has been a slow ride, however, I feel I am making progress.

>I have been involved in music controversies at 2 different churches that have gone south. As a member of Episcopal Churches I have peeves against folks who feel it is socially acceptable to "butt" in on someone elses conversations without the courtesy of "excuse me" 's. Christian courtesies seem to have gone out the windows. In spite of all this, I try to be positive and realize who my maker is what my role in the church is according to God's plan.
