Mike's "meanderings"
August 27, 2010
+ Today, I am very grateful for the life of a good friend and priest, Henry, whose influence over the years as my spiritual director, has been a huge blessing.
+Blog--sudoku meets spirituality. Worth taking a read.
+Bob Rice, via Scott Miller, via other folks asked me what my three favorite devotional prayers are...see the blog in the upper right hand corner.
+Be on the watch for some website revisioning. I am still not sure what all that means, but I am getting excited! I expect an early September launch.

WHO IS MIKE PATIN?
Glad you asked.
I live in Lafayette LA. I am a husband, and a dad (one daughter). I spent 6 years as a high school teacher and coach, and have worked in youth ministry since 1984. I began speaking at parishes and rallies in 1990. Since 2003, I have been speaking full-time around the country to young people and adults on issues of Catholic faith, positive attitude, using your gifts and living life fully.
