My dear friends,

On November 1st, after a two year battle for his health, the love of my life Michael had a cardiac event and went to be with the Lord. I am devastated but rejoice in the knowledge that he is now in the presence of the One he loved most. I ask for your prayers and patience as I go about my grieving process. A celebration of his extraordinary life is being planned and details will be shared as they become finalized. Feel free to share this post.

Michael was not only a virtuoso musician, but also a very passionate Christian for Christ. In 2013, he published a short article on his website, called Die to live...Live to die.  :

I am constantly amazed that so many find life through my death…dying to self releases the fragrance of Christ not the stench of death but life incarnate because as you decrease Christ IN you increases… Galatians 2:20 perfectly articulates this downside up paradigm. The Kingdom of God is an “upside down” Kingdom where the servant is the master of all. The Kingdom is a world outside of this world, a sky beyond the sky and a government that exists independently from man’s government and it operates with it’s own set of laws and principles and non linear physics. Gods Kingdom frustrates carnal man because mans thinking is diametrically apposed to it because it exists outside of his intellect in a realm that is organically Spiritual. Do you want the seeker to find Christ in you? Then, die to yourself as a caterpillar must die to reveal his true self to the world…a butterfly…if you are a believer your “true self” is Christ! Either we are “hidden” in Christ or if we refuse to die, He remains hidden in us and the seeker continues his sojourn for truth. If you are no longer your own and purchased with a price (blood of Jesus) how then can we remain selfish? Maybe a better term for being “saved” could be…conversion, transformation or metamorphosis…Die to live, Live to die- Michael
