First Blog

This is my first attempt at blogging! I just retired and look forward to enjoying my remaining years with my wife, children (2 boys), and grandchildren(2 boys). We've been married for 40 years. I spent over 40 years in the Information Technology business. Additionally, I spent 4 years serving in the United States Navy. My personal opinion -- every male and female who turns 18 years-of-age should serve 2 years in one branch of the military.

God has blessed me is so many ways. I am a Christian who enjoys serving The Lord. I am a Gideon and an authorized lay evangelists. My wife and I attend St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church. I was very sadden by the ELCA's recent vote to allow gay's to lead congregations. I do not judge these individuals only pray from them. Prayer is very powerful.

I'm a cancer survivor (11 years). Another of God's Blessings. He is GOOOOD!

Prior to retirement, I enjoyed running and weight lifting. The impact of my cancer surgery (13 hours and damaged kidneys) have eliminated those activities.

Our country is in sad shape. Our so called political leaders have sold out to their own wants and desires. Our freedoms are dwindling! Our government is moving down a very dangerous path.

Off my soap box. Time to help my wife with dinner.

I look forward to comments.
Best wishes from "The Old Guy" Mike
