Once Upon A Time

I remember listening to stories as a child. They all seemed to start with that familiar phrase, "Once upon a time." My father would often share stories about his life. As he got older, the stories were repeated over and over again. When my father died. Many of my family members shared that they... Sign in to see full entry.

Prayer Changes Things

Every year, my church organizes a prayer vigil. I have been a member of Maple Springs, in MD, for 17, soon to be 18, years, March 8, 2026. This is the first church I have attended that emphasizes prayer not just for the members but for the whole world. Saturday, we prayed from around 7:00 am to 4:00... Sign in to see full entry.

Reflections of Our Self Worth chapter 1

I had some unexpected downtime today. I think I may have a book idea. When we are young and sometimes even when we are old, we don't realize our true worth. Many of us have never had a proper evaluation. If you were to buy a car or a house, you would have it appraised to determine its true value.... Sign in to see full entry.

New Year Old Goals

I love the freshness of a new year. Now maybe it's just me. But I continue to notice that my goals each year are about the same. Now I may rephrase them. To make them seem new. In the final analysis, they tend to be the same. One thing that is definitely not new is always putting God first. It is... Sign in to see full entry.

It stars Kurt Russell. Now, this movie was made for Children. I still love films made for children. In some ways,... Sign in to see full entry.

They Said It Would Never Be A Hit

I love music, especially Christmas music. Songwriter Irving Berlin was confident in the tune. Telling his arranger, it was the best song anybody ever wrote. Neither he nor the studio thought it would be a favorite. The song, of course, was White Christmas. And it didn't exactly hurt Bing Crosby's... Sign in to see full entry.

A Great Reason for the Season

We often think of Christmas as only for the children. It was suddenly a great time for me when I was growing up. Whether you believe in Santa Claus, in whatever version. Or any other symbol of blessing others by giving. As children, we are naive to the source of the giving. The magic of the myth.... Sign in to see full entry.

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.
