Mike's Story
Life
I am a born-again christian who is very little like I was. I used to be awkward and totally hate the person I was. Now I know that I don't need to be perfect just yet. I am forgiven. All I have to do is ask. I turned away from God out of anger when my mother died in 1983. I realized that I couldn't do it on my own in '05 and I was saved. I am a member in good standing of Calvary Baptist Church in Lexington, SC. It is an Independent Baptist Church. It is the best in my mind because it's never over the top. In other words they donm't beat you down and tear you apart to build you anew.
I now work out at New Life Fitness World. I figured the price was righ and it matches my new life in Christ and it's closer than the Y in Irmo to my new home near the West Columbia/Lexington line.
I work out five to seven times a week at the YMCA. I love fitness and refuse to go back to what I was before. I still have problems but I work very hard on conquering them . I am not a good as I need to be one day but I'm working on it. I feel much better than I ever have. I worked out at Gold's Gym for six years previously.
I have never been gutsy enough to keep in touch with my old aquaintences but, I'd like to. I'll respond to you, I promise. I don't want to be "on the outside looking in", in any case.
I would like to go back to school and study history or politic...Expand for more
al science. I'm very conservative as you can well imagine. I don't enjoy the Republicans taking a blood bath at the hands of Pelosi and the Democrats. Mark my words, we will be back.
I don't know what more to say about myself that I haven't already. I still live in Columbia as I have since 1992. I never thought that would be the case. I hope to move to Lexington soon.
I used to want to be a broadcaster. I used to want to work in radio. I did for awhile any way, as one of my bosses said "You can love radio all you want but, It won't love you back." That is so true.
I am going through a rough time now. My father died not knowing the Lord in September after a brief illness he instructed his wife, "I want to die NOW!"
He didn't want to be hooked up to machines. At any rate he was 83 and he had a full life. I'm still reeling from that.
If that wasn't enough I buried one of my closest friends five months later to the day. He was my roommate/helper. He hadbeen with me for four years but we hadbeen friends for close to fourteen years. He taredt out as my neighbour when I lived in the apartments.
Since I began this letter what seems like a hundred years ago, I've finally moved into a house. Oh sure it's a rental but it's still the first place I've lived in that feels like not only a home, but my home.
Drop me a line.
