HisServant, or Michael, or whichever you'd like to call me as long as it's not too bad 
Wow, has it been a long time, but I'll introduce myself for those new, and give an update to everyone else
My Name is Michael, I'm . . . Really bad at introductions! I live in south louisiana, moved around a lot as a kid but settled in the land of cajuns. I'm an open book for any questions though. . .
For an update though, it seems that a lifetime has passed since we all chatted. A lot has changed. Right now, I've moved from the city I was in before, which is a bit rough because I'm one of the pastors at the church in that city. So traveling 34 miles each time to minister is a bit rough with the people being so far away. That's one of the changes, I'm one of the pastors at the church. I've never seen myself in such an office as a pastor, and still don't really see myself as that specifically. But, the Lord has me in the position and there I will continue to minister to the people until God says otherwise. I'm not full-time ministry yet, and still waiting for the Lord on that (praying He open the door soon, as balancing 5 full-time schedules really wears me out).
For finances, I work as an IT Consultant for a company called LeadMaster. I design their CRM software to suit companies' needs, provide support for it, and train the companies how to use it. If the Lord tarries in allowing me to be full-time ministry, I'd prefer moving into a different realm of IT, being able to have a more free schedule. Currently I work business hours, being paid hourly. I'd rather work entirely for myself, almost on a project basis where I am not bound to an hourly schedule. That would help with other schedules I believe. I've definitely learned a lot over the years concerning technology. I became tired of seeing all the hacking going on and so studied (and still studying) to become an Information Security specialist.
My family situation also changed. Whereas I was living with my mom and step father trying to help them out due to the many problems known and unknown. I moved out in 2015, but then last year my mom and stepfather got a divorce and my mom is living with me in an apartment that's close to her work (I work remotely). We are working to help her get out of severe debt, but it will take several years.
That's pretty much the 1,000 ft view in many—too many—words! Looking forward to hearing from everyone else!
