For those that don’t know I’ve been quite busy lately getting my web sites up and going, a total new web site http://www.thevirtualpew.com and a total revision of my own web site http://www.furches.org Danielle Hobeika has been doing the web site design for me and the site http://www.thevirtualpew.com is almost complete. She will start working on the total redesign of my personal site this week.

There has been a lot going on, for those that don’t know I have left and am no longer the pastor of the church I was at. That church an inner city urban church just couldn’t make it financially and there are all kinds of other issues related to the inner city that some day, larger churches and denominations will get. Until then, it will be difficult for any urban church to make it. I have had this discussion with many urban church leaders and civil rights leader John Perkins and they whole heartedly agree and tried to provide some help, but again, people have to see the value, listen and apply change.

I am okay with that because I have been planning for about the last year and a half or so to go out on my own speaking in churches and doing non religious motivational speaking in businesses which I have done in the past. So far the planning and progress towards that and the development of the web sites among other things has taken up quite a bit of time, thus I have been on the forums very little over the last few weeks. Today I start doing quite a bit more with the web site http://www.furches.org, again a total revision focused more on my writing, along with a heavy movie, speaking and wrestling focus.

Just wanted to give an update, there is one other thing that folks here can take advantage of if they want. For those that don’t know, I wrote a book several years ago that is autobiographical in nature. I am including the link for the 1st five chapters, and if reading them and wanting the remainder of the book email me at mike@thevirtualpew.com and I’ll send you the remainder of the 700 + page, pre edited manuscript. Some have said it makes a great read and it will explain more about me and where I come from. I will say many will be shocked, maybe some not, and I have been told it makes a good read. I am doing this for one reason, as there are a couple of publishing houses starting to look and show some interest in the book. I want quotes about it. You simply read the book, if you don’t like it, no big deal, if you like it or there is something you are willing to say positively about the book, then I would like a quote. Remember it is free so there is nothing to lose.

Hopefully in the next couple of weeks I’ll be back, until then I have been on MySpace which initially started out as a test market for The Virtual Pew, but has turned into something much larger than we anticipated. Miss talking to everyone here, and for some of the nemeses, don’t worry, I’ll be back soon.

The link to the first five chapters of The Keystone Kid are at: http://www.furches.org/writing/keystone_kid/keystonekid1-5.zip Notice you will need winzip or some other compression program. This is also a word document.
