Knowing his passion for worship - and his connection to the One he worships. He has been a support to me (as have you) and as much as you're my sister and my best friend, he is a brother to me. MUCH love to you both. I miss you. I miss your family.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06491065913163734995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5271700098124845199.post-46773428974312552282009-04-03T11:30:00.000-07:002009-04-03T11:30:00.000-07:00Seriously... one of the most truly loving posts I'...Seriously... one of the most truly loving posts I've ever read. My best friend's husband is a cop, and he's sometimes quiet and sometimes too loud... but both are just trying to compensate for the things he's seen and is trying to cope with. I get that.<BR/><BR/>I also get that we all do that, and if we could all find that place in our hearts that extends grace rather than judging differences... well, we'd all be more peaceful people.<BR/><BR/>You and your husband are both so blessed to have found each other.Gitz 'n Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13827576212732423982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5271700098124845199.post-88364186527473194022009-04-03T11:21:00.000-07:002009-04-03T11:21:00.000-07:00I love this post.

I know what you mean about not being able to ask what he saw. I saw the most horrifying thing on the news this week and had to do some serious prayer to get it to quit replaying in my head. God is so good!Rishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01751145247529211783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5271700098124845199.post-16804070897445081722009-04-02T09:11:00.000-07:002009-04-02T09:11:00.000-07:00I like the way you think!:o) What a great post......I like the way you think!:o) What a great post....and what a wonderful man you are married to!:o)Tamathahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06161946723918013409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5271700098124845199.post-14267036253711608092009-04-01T17:46:00.000-07:002009-04-01T17:46:00.000-07:00This post could have been written by a very close ...This post could have been written by a very close friend of mine who's husband is in the same line of work. She often feels like she has explain away his 'ways' He may not seem warm on the phone, He may get up and go to bed in the middle of a visit because he knows he has a job to prepare his body for. He probably won't engage in surface level conversation with you on the street.<BR/><BR/>I have come to understand that he is that way because he sees so much in a day he just doesn't have time for some of the performances the rest of us put on. I imagine the same is true for Mike. He is likely as real and genuine as they come. If he extends some warmth to you you feel it to your very core because it is so meaningful and honest.<BR/> I am for one am in awe of these guys. They take in so much garbage that would leave the rest of us in a constant state of negativity if we even managed to climb out of the pit we would fall into. <BR/>God has actually blessed them with passion beyond what we know- they would have to passionate about what they do to continue. They are balanced. Loyal. They are skilled at filtering out the junk. And if they love you you know it! I believe they also have the gift of discerment ( A gift I imagine is not all that fun to have) They can read people to their very core.<BR/>Yes, these kind of guys you are blessed to have in your corner, your town, <BR/>and for you and my dear friend-<BR/>Your heart.<BR/><BR/>SO Although I don't know Mike - I get him.<BR/>And he is - Amazing.<BR/>Don't get me started about the woman behind the man!! ;)Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18407194404691331670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5271700098124845199.post-71817826939314421372009-04-01T11:11:00.000-07:002009-04-01T11:11:00.000-07:00Thanks for sharing your heart Amy.

He is a faithful man.The 1st word that I think of when I hear his name is: trustworthy.<BR/><BR/>I need to pray more for the Police force. Truly, they (and you-the families) see into a world that I do not know.

I'm so glad you were honest like that. I love how fiercely you love Mike. That's a woman, my friend! I admire you. and your husband. and how you bring it all into focus by talking about GRACE.

He is a man who's heart is passionately, solidly after God, and I have always loved, respected and TRUSTED that.<BR/>I loved seeing who Mike was in worship and knowing it was the real deal, I have loved learning of his love and devotion to his family through your blog posts and I have often prayed for him (and all of you), knowing I could not lead the lives you all lead. Bless you all, and please sleep well tonight...none of us will ever see or fully know the things Mike faces...but God is so very present with him at this very moment, through tonight and every night.<BR/>He is such a very big and powerful and GOOD God.<BR/><BR/>Bless you for being real!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05519364778481476694noreply@blogger.com
