My Life Mission Statement

At my church, each organization is required to create a mission statement. A mission statement has two purposes. First, it lets others know the purpose of your organization.

Patience a tool for a meaningful life.

You have heard the old saying. Patience is a virtue. However, when you are young, it appears to be a curse. Everything seems to take forever when you are young.

The Magic of Music

I don't know who invented music. But I believe it was heaven-sent. Everywhere I look, I discover witnesses that verify the magic of this ancient form of communication.

About this Blog

Michael's Lessons from life is my view of the lessons I have learned from the simple to the complex. My father and mother, blessed me with a simple, non complicated way of living and loving life. In a world where it seems the negative has taken over. I want to share a positive, enlightened view of the world as I have experienced it. Including my view of what is happening today.
