About Michael Stanley

Hello Everyone,
I'm Michael Stanley,  Husband, Father, Friend, Coach, Sunday School Teacher,Golfer, Plumber, turned Internet Marketer. (smile).  I have to smile after an introduction like that.  The thing is though, anyone over 40 years of age knows exactly what I'm talking about.  I'm 50 years old now, and I've seen a lot over the years.  Just a little about myself.  I was born in Brewton, small town in southern Alabama in 1961.  We were poor growing up, however I didn't realize it because we always had what we needed.  Granted we didn't have some of the things the other kids did, but that wasn't strange to us at that time.  We were more concerned with the fun we were gonna have after Church in the "Projects".  I put it in parenthesis because it was off limits for us, but we would sneak off and go anyway.  That's where the serious pick-up football games took place.  Or the intense baseball games, they all went down in "the projects".  We usually got away with it unless someone got hurt.   In 1974, because  of the work situation my parents moved to Michigan.  I didn't want it at the time, but I thank God now for the experience.  I excelled in sports in High School, also academically.  Got a scholarship to Western Michigan, deferred for Army in 1979.  Crazy huh?  I know,  but that's water under the bridge.  Got married and divorced and married again in the Army.  I have 4 boys and 2 girls, of which I'm very pleased, well let's be honest most of which I'm pleased.  I love them all more than they will ever know.  I have 4 grandchildren, 3 boys 1 girl.  I'm at a very peaceful point in my life.  God has Blessed us.   If nothing else remember this, "It's the many small streams moving continuously that eventually find their way to the river".  Enjoy Your Coffee
