"Christian Warrior"

A Savant-type of man
marching to his own
'beat of his drum.'
“What's it all about Michael?”
A statement! A question?
With fledging- tacit unknown
unconscious wonderment . . .
decisions . . . and 'grand missions.'
So, we arrive, sigh, thrive, strive, and cry and writhe, then tithe . . .

~ We Die ~

“Behold, now is the day of Salvation--
thou shall confess, believing in thine heart, that God has raised Him from the dead . . . thou shalt be saved."

The White Angel waiting outside to guide you, Michael Bailey,'Onward Christian Soldier,'to be enveloped,enclosed above
to the Heavenly Counsel of
Christian Warriors on High . . .

~ and now ~

the "Mighty Christian Warrior" Rises !

You were a faithful member of the Biblical Manhood Class, we also liked hearing your comments on the Bible Verses we would be studying. You also were a faithful Usher at First Baptist Pasadena I could always count on you being in your place every Sunday. We will miss you very much and look forward to seeing you again in Heaven.

We will miss Mike and his smile. I enjoyed talking with him about God's Word and things that were revealed to him. I will keep his family and friends in my prayers.
