Brothers, too often time and space erode the bonds of brotherhood. People move. Mail gets lost. We forget to call. Emails go unanswered. In an effort to connect us together a bit, this blog is a place to share personal news updates, post photos, ponder out loud, muse on theology, share encouragement, and post news on upcoming gatherings.

The Other "Michael W"

Hey guys, this is a word from [the other] Michael "W" Smith. I put together a fantasy baseball league and wanted to extend the invitation to anyone wanting to join. This is the FREE league, of course, so no worries on cost. The league (63926) name is "NYOrangeNBlue" and the password is "wright5." I think it will be a lot of fun for a bunch of guys to join and compete. I lost in Robus' football league and hope to try and take baseball. Any questions, email me at mtsmith10904@yahoo.com. It is currently set for a live draft on March 11 at 7:30 eastern, but I may change it depending on the schedules of everyone who joins.

I am living in Louisville, KY and am 2+ years into getting an M.Div. in Biblical Counseling at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. I am married to the beautiful Stephanie Tocci and we've been married now for just over 2 years.


I recently accepted a job at Fitlife Personal Training as a personal trainer and am enjoying it thus far (you will soon be able to see my pretty face on their website at www.fitlife.biz under "Staff"). It is a great opportunity to serve as a witness to Christ because the clients really open up their lives to you. I am also working at Dick's Sporting Goods as the Bike and Ski Technician. Working there has been an awesome experience because I have been trained to work with bikes, which I love, and I received a free personal training certification allowing me to explore better options of employment while I attend school.

Through school, I have been given other opportunities as well serving as a Grader for a Boyce College Professor, and will also have the privilege of adjunct teaching. Life is really busy, but things are going really well and it is great to hear how many of you are doing. Thank you Josh Trent for putting this together so we all can keep in touch. Well, that is a brief summar of where I am in life right now, if anyone would like to contact me my number is 502.216.2790 or you can email me at mtsmith10904@yahoo.com. I hope everyone is doing well.

In ZAX,
Mike Smith
