Pastor Mike's Blog

My blogs

Introduction	I am a Christian! Not perfect, but forgiven! I love my wife and kids more than is humanly imaginable. I am a dreamer...and I have big dreams as a family-man, as a leader, a pastor, and an entrepreneur. I love my family and wish I could spend more time being around them. I cherish my friends and respect my enemies. I have a passion to see the lost come to Christ. The church I pastor is full of wonderfully redirected people. Leadership keeps me dreaming! Brooke Michael's is a business I launched in honor of my two beautiful children. I like to tweet on twitter...more socially than philosophically. My blogs are www.mikeshroades.blogspot.com and www.brookemichaelsauctionblog.blogspot.com.
