Mike

I’ve invited Mike Mathews to blog here with me because I trust his heart and his thinking.

I’ve also asked him to write a bio for this bio page. He said he didn’t want to. He told me to get the one off his MySpace page.

I went to his MySpace page and looked in the About Me section.

Mike’s About Me section said, ‘What am I doing here?” I told him I thought that was a tad short. He said, “Yes, but to the point.”

 I told him he might be the only person clever enough to know why that one-liner is clever.

He didn’t respond.

You might pray for Mike….and his bio.

 ————————————–

From Mike in response to the above thoughts…

I was excited (and more than a little flattered) when Gary asked me to be a part of his venture into blog-dom.  Doubt quickly followed excitement. 

“Why does he want me to be a part of it?” certainly not my prowess with the written word. “What do I have to say that’s worth posting for the world?”  Nothing comes to mind. 

I still don’t have answers to those or any of the other thousand or so questions about I Am and Me, but I will at least take some time and write a bio.  If only as a favor to a friend.

This is me: 

1. a follower of Jesus Christ,
2. the husband of the lovely and talented Mrs. Mathews, Joni who keeps me going with her quiet strength, encouragement and, when necessary, honest and straight forward criticisim
3. father of three (Lillian, Maddox and Grant), 
4. we live in Mitchell in a house that has been in various states of remodeling since we bought it — which says much about my personality and might be a metaphor for my spiritual life,
5. math nerd.  I teach the Algebra and such at Scottsburg High School, Room 130
6. too much more to list, I guess they will come up if I blog long enough
