The coloring book is done.
I’m very happy with it.
This may be the first time in my life that I completed something important well before the deadline. That alone feels like a small miracle. But the deeper lesson is this:
It happened because I did not try to do it alone.
I relied on others.
Designers. Encouragers. Skilled hands. Caring hearts.
It turns out my projects are stronger — and frankly, superior — when I am surrounded by people who have the gifts necessary to carry the work across the finish line. What once felt like pressure became partnership. What once felt heavy became shared.
One percent better.
Not by grinding harder.
By trusting deeper.
All that remains now is setting up the distribution channels so we can place Wilson into the hands of sick kids who need something bright to hold onto. That is the real mission. Pages are printed. Colors are set. But the purpose has always been bigger than paper.
And I can’t help but say this plainly:
I sense the hand of God in all of it.
Not in dramatic flashes.
But in the quiet alignment.
In the right people showing up.
In deadlines met with peace instead of panic.
In community rising around a simple idea.
“Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established.” — Proverbs 16:3
I am committing this next phase — the launch of Where in the World Is Wilson — into His hands. I humbly ask you to keep me and all those supporting this effort in your prayers as we move toward distribution.
This isn’t about a book.
It’s about children in hospital rooms.
It’s about light entering hard spaces.
It’s about doing our small part faithfully.

š Captain’s Addendum
Spock: “Doctor, it appears the Captain has discovered that collaboration increases efficiency.”
Bones: “Took him long enough. Even starships aren’t built by one pair of hands.”
Spock: “Indeed. Logic supports shared competency.”
Michael’s Reflection:
Michael is learning that leadership is not about doing everything well — it’s about inviting others to do what they do best. When he steps back, others step forward. And together, the mission advances farther than he could ever carry it alone.
Today I am grateful.
Grateful for community.
Grateful for timely completion.
Grateful for the steady reminder that we are never meant to build alone.
May you walk boldly in divine love, live long in purpose, and grow one percent better today.
