Coast Guard Blogger Lost “and now I’m found”

Blogger and former contributor to Coast Guard Report and other Blogs Mike McGrath has started his own Christian Blog, the “ChurchBlog.”  Mike’s profile on his site says:

I surrendered to the reality of the Lord Jesus Christ at the age of 21, while I was serving aboard the Coast Guard Cutter Cherokee. I’ve traveled a great part of the world, experienced many cultures, witnessed horrific things; but I love the Lord, I love my family, I love my church family all the same. I have endured what some would consider the most heinous of tests and trials with the death of my oldest son followed closely by the death of both of my in law parents, my wife left me, I lost my career due to the conspiracy surrounding my son’s death, my house was auctioned, and I had several business partners over the years kill some of my business ventures due to embezzlement and thievery. I am currently filing for bankruptcy. I apparently have a very bad track record picking business partners. I have a Masters Degree in Business, had a successful consulting practice for over a decade, am a University Professor and prior Bible School Instructor; I’m also an avid student of everything I can get my hands on to read. At the end of the day, however, I still totally rely upon the Lord for everything! Because he is able! And I’m not giving up on him!
