Reason #3: Hearty "Hey Boy!"

If you have ever called Mike on his cell phone, or had Mike call you on his cell phone, or have been praying with Mike when someone calls Mike on his cell phone, you know that Mike loves to greet you with a hearty "Hey Boy!".

He takes his phone and his relationships seriously.  If you call him, he will drop everything he is doing and focus on you.

He is a constant source of encouragement when he is always happy to see you or hear from you.

For those accustomed to prayer without interruptions, you might think that Mike is breaking some kind of religious protocol when he bolts noisily out of prayer ( a conversation with the Father ) in order to belt "Hey Boy!" to a mere mortal.  After it has occurred a few times, and you process the temporal versus eternal qualities of the two conversations, you start to understand, appreciate and support our beloved pastor in his continuous pursuit of the next conversation.
