MAGIC

I believe in magic as much as I believe in air and this video will help you agree with me.






My bit of magic.

Life is but a vapor.

For those of you who have not heard the news i shall tell it now.
Last Sunday 2 young ladies from PCC were vacationing in Maine.
One of them was Carrisa Ireland, daughter of Mike and Robin Ireland of whom my family have been friends with for to many year to count. The Ireland family are missionarries to Ukraine. The other girl was Irina McEntee who attended PCC with Carrisa. The McEntee family lives in Georgia and invited Carrisa to go on a vacation to their summer home in Maine. This past Sunday while in Maine the girls decided to go Kayaking to a small island that was less than a mile away from the island that they were staying at. Irina has grown up kayaking and is very experienced. The weather was 74 and balmy, no wind and very peaceful, after arriving on the island they were last seen by Irina's parents pushing their Kayaks onto the beach of the island. While on the island 23 MPH winds kicked up and the temperature dropped. The tide started going out and teh girls while coming back were struggling, Carrisa kayak capsized and couldn't get back in. The water was 48 degrees. Irina knew that if she jumped into the water she would also not be able to get back into the kayak but jumped in anyway. According to reports the water was so cold that the girls died with half in hour, they were found the next morning after search parties looked all night.

I grew up with Carrisa and Mikie Ireland for a while. I loved hanging out with them when they came state side, Carrisa was never without a big smile and happy heart.
She was a true example of someone given fully to God, she was in her 3rd year at PCC for Elementary Education and was working 3 jobs for college. She never considered herself American and loved the people of Ukraine and planned to go back and be a teacher. Last night my mom, dad and myself greeted the Ireland family at the airport and it was rough to say the least. There was a midsized crowd there as well.
For those of you who don't know this but 20 years ago my mother and Mrs. Ireland met in the nursery at First Bible Baptist Church and both had children the same age, Carrisa and my brother David. David died when he was 2 and a half years old with his cousin Shayna who was 4 at the time in a drowning. My mom has had a very hard week. She said that all the hurt comes back from so long ago. Our family has known many close families who have lost children and I could name about 4 or 5 right now. Please continue to pray for the Ireland and McEntee family, the memorial service for Irina is on Tuesday and is in Georgia and Carrissa's memorial service is this coming Thursday.
Thanks God they are both in heaven and we shall see them again.

Amazing video

Hello everyone!!!
I have been super duper busy and i'm sorry that i have not been able to post much recently.
Hopefully next week i'll try to get the California pics up.
But in the meantime, I have been doing a lot more video stuff for church and we just bought a pro camera for video production (super excited)
Anywho i've been learning a little graphic animation and i found this video from a website that i watch tutorials on.
It's a short film that was made be 2 people with NO BUDGET. i love when that happens, just a souped up computer and good old creativity.
but it's about this little girl, i'm not going to say much more but just look at the eyes of the little girl. It's amazing how they caught that inquisitive look that i see when i play with my nieces.
but anywho... here it is!!

Snow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I LOVE SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


That is a scene from one of favorite movies of all time, White Christmas, if you haven't seen it... you should.

Anywho, I'm am a true lover of snow here is a picture of a snowflake under a microscope.


but when we think of snow many might think different things, Storms, blizzards, no school, snow forts, decorations, Christmas or what ever you might think.
But i love waking up and seeing the world covered in a perfect, pure sheet of snow as if to blanket the world and give it comfort.

So tell me what you think about snow, leave a comment in the comment section and i'll ttyl

Love MYKE

To Dream

Dreaming... when we hear the word we think of many things. Sleeping, daze and imagination to name a few.
But just imagine what life would be like without dreams, without ambitions, without hope.
A very dull place it would be indeed I'll say.
So no matter how old you are, always dream.
No matter how dim your life may be, always dream.
No matter how many times people tell you your wasting your time, always dream.
No matter what hurdles you might have to overcome, always dream.
No matter what people might say behind your back, always dream.
No matter how your loved ones might treat you, always dream.
No matter how rich or poor you might be, always dream.
And no matter how far the light at the end of the tunnel might be, always dream.
So many times we dream and imagine as children what we might want to be when we grow up, but as we grow older we might lose that sense of fascination with the world and all the many grand things it hold.
But i urge you to NEVER lose that feeling, that hope, that urge to be someone great.
Many times we dream of being a nurse, fire fighter, police officer, world traveler, writer, musician or anything imaginable.
But what we don't realize is that we can be all those things with God's help.
So i leave you with this final note,
Dream Big

Love you all,
MYKE
