About the Author

Michael graduated from the University of Mississippi and worked for IBM in Memphis, Tennessee, for the first ten years of his business career. He went on to become a partner in a technology-related leasing company and to serve as president of a large technology services organization in Chicago, Illinois. In addition, Michael served on the board of a mid-south bank for over ten years.

 

Michael and his wife Betty have two grown children, both with MBAs and very successful in their own right. In addition, they have three wonderful grandchildren, all with college degrees and now making some good choices of their own.

Michael started going to church with his grandmother when he was eight years old.  He has been an active member of the Presbyterian Church for over 50 years. During this time, he has served in various church roles typically focused on the growth of church finances and membership.

 

Michael has come to strongly believe that God works primarily through people. The most important spiritual influences in our lives, he believes, are provided by God via love signals in our hearts and are supported by our God-given Spirit of Goodness which motivates us and helps us respond to the love signals that God provides. 

 

As he has thought about God’s presence over the years, he has come to realize the almost unbelievable importance of our choices. Our choices provide a pathway for us to follow the love signals provided by God and help others in some special way or they can take our life off in a totally different direction.
