Something unusual is unfolding in my life right now—so unusual that I completely overlooked an important anniversary. Two days ago marked the moment when the grim reaper came close, revealing himself in a way that brought me face-to-face with mortality. In that encounter, I found myself living in what feels like bonus time. I will never again take life for granted.
You might wonder what’s been distracting me from defining moments of the past. Let me share a few things: people are entering my life at a pace that feels almost divine, as if God has a transporter room honing in on my coordinates. It’s stunning—like moments traveling at light speed.
As St. Patrick’s Day approaches, less than 40 days away, the baby coloring book stands ready to join its Irish siblings. This trio of books, all born on St. Patrick’s Day, symbolizes a fresh start and new beginnings.
Amidst all this excitement, there’s something even greater brewing in my mind—something I’m letting simmer before I share it with the world. Not even my wife knows yet. It’s better to keep it close, to avoid jinxing it. The idea came to me within the last 48 hours, likely sparked by the day a large van t-boned me and left me temporarily sidelined. Yes, I’m maximizing every moment of this bonus time.
I thank God for each day He grants me. When the moment is right, I will reveal what I’m calling Project X. If you are the praying type, I appreciate your prayers.
Thank you, and may you live long and prosper.
“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.”
— Psalm 23:1
Captain’s Addendum
Bones: “Michael, are you telling me you had a brush with the grim reaper and still found time for a coloring book launch?”
Spock: “Doctor, it seems the captain’s resilience is as remarkable as his sense of purpose.”
Bones: “I’ll be damned if that doesn’t sound like a miracle.”
Michael’s Reflection:
What I’ve learned is that even in the face of uncertainty, every moment is a gift. It’s in these moments that we discover the true value of life and the strength of the human spirit.
