♦August 20, 2008♦
I am off to Houston to do some work there with the Archdiocese for a day or so. A weekend at home celebrating my daughter's birthday and then back on the road for the last week of the month.
August is the busiest month of my year-to date. I will have traveled or worked 23 of the 31 days.
I am still finding time to watch some of the Olympics...and find myself inspired.
--See blog for my travel reports..
►DVD release
I am very happy to share with you this one hour DVD filmed at Notre Dame Vision. The videographer did a great job producing a quality product. I'm proud of how it came out.
The DVD is a compilation of live shots, humor, and interviews, covering:
•living life (joy) fully
•using your gifts and making a difference
•feeling God's presence within us.
I think it would make a great gift for Confirmation students or graduating seniors. I think it would be a great "pick-me-up" for anyone---adults or teens! Get an order form in the store section of the site.

♦Quotes♦
God,
it is you I seek,
it is you I want to follow
all the days of my life.
I need your strength this day, God.
I need to listen to your voice
and hear your direction for me
when other voices vie to control me
and lead me their way.
The voices are many:
I hear them at work,
among my family and friends and foes.
The voices distract me
and are loud and seductive.
God,
your voice is quiet.
Even your silence speaks to me.
You want me to choose,
you do not force me.
You give me free will
and the responsibility to
choose my own destiny.
Help me, God,
to believe in you alone,
to trust that you will never lead me
into danger
that you want the best for me.
The destination you hold out to me
is better than any place
I have traveled to.
Help my unbelief.
Amen.
Peace,
Mike
