Stewardship is usually associated with money. Yet a steward is someone who cares for or manages the affairs of someone else. We are called to manage God's creation. An executor has a source document - a will or trust from the departed person to carry out their wishes. As God's stewards, our source document is the Bible - our Farmer's Almanac to use as we plant the seeds of conversion, till and fertilize the soil of our hearts and those of our parishioners so that we fulfill God's promise of salvation to the world. We will be His gardener, farmer and caretaker - depending on the size of our parish's garden or field. Stewardship is both "hard" and "heart" work. By sharing my own stewardship journey, I've tried to take the "hard" part of stewardship out of the equation, by revealing to you the "heart" plans and tools used at my parish. Since age 14, Michael has had a passion for writing. His first book, In Search of My Orange-Colored Sky, was a collection of poetry written during high school and college. The real literary calling came in early 2020 as God revealed to him in a dream his next book. Six months later and 20-years after his first book, A Stewardship Journey, was written. Born in Germany, Mike is the second of three generations who have served in the U.S. Air Force. Mike graduated from Robinson High School in Tampa, Florida; Troy State University; and the University of the Philippines. He is a member of the Knights of Columbus for 30+ years, serving in various leadership positions, as well as being an usher, parish council member, and a stewardship director. Mike, his wife, Edna, and their two daughters, Kristina and Michala, reside in Corona, California, and are parishioners of St. Matthew's Catholic Church. Mike loves to cook; enjoys gardening and landscaping.
