Fathers Day Tribute.

Every year I give praise to my Father. Not my blood father. But to the one who actually did the work.

A Tribute to Those Who Didnt Get the Word.

A Big Cheer For The Underdog.

Whether it's the movies, sports, or everyday life. I often find myself rooting for the underdog. If you interviewed the average person, they would say they identify more with the underdog. Sports and competition teach many lessons about life. On Saturday, the New York Knicks beat the San Antonio... Sign in to see full entry.

Pay Attention Everyone

Sometimes I wonder if anyone is paying attention to what is going on in our world. Today I would like to express my opinion about traffic. Now, this is not the only subject, but it's one I know intimately. Many of you have experienced stupid traffic as well. Every big city has traffic. Apparently,... Sign in to see full entry.

I have been recovering from a layoff at the end of 2023 as a systems engineer. Although I tried to hide how much that layoff affected me. Once again, I... Sign in to see full entry.

There is a very popular minister from Virginia who preaches on the radio on Sunday mornings. He made a very valid point on Sunday. God basically sent the devil after (Job). I really liked the way he worded it. He said Job is my dude. We are tight. He will never give in to you. Now I have heard the... 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.
