I am, pure and simple, sad to hear that a wonderful voice of sensible, reasonable Christianity is gone. I will miss his posts….so insightful. I know he’s in a better place, bue we are not yet, and for that, I mourn.

I’m not as active here as I once was, and I missed this sad, sad news (sad for us, not for Michael). This is so hard. So very hard. Michael and I sometimes sharply disagreed on certain things, but in the last several months, I had realized much of his wisdom.

Brother, you’re out of this vale of tears. I rejoice for you, grieve for us, and not least at all, I pray for your family, especially Denise and children. My internet experience will never be the same. Thank you, Michael. I will be buying your book, and I hope that millions do and are blessed by you, as we were here. Can’t wait to see you in Heaven.

Into your hands, O merciful Savior, we commend your servant Michael. Acknowledge, we humbly beseech you, a sheep of your own fold, a lamb of your own flock, a sinner of your own redeeming. Receive him into the arms of your mercy, into the blessed rest of everlasting peace, and into the glorious company of the saints in light. Amen. (Book of Common Prayer)

I never met Michael but I was blessed by his ministry on this blog, as were so many others. He always spoke honestly, bravely and without pretense. My deepest sympathies to his family.

i will miss the short time with the internet monk that i was blessed to have. i found Michael’s website through Steve Brown’s ministry a couple of years ago. being the same age and sharing the same name. i immediately found a connection with his love of baseball (The Big Red Machine), small town eastern kentucky living, front porches and most of all our loving God. I know he is basking in that love right now.

Even though we never met i always felt like i could call him friend. Good bye for now my friend.
