Michael Vick

I recently flew to Kansas from Tampa, and drove to the United States Penitentiary in Leavenworth to see former Atlanta Falcons quarterback, Michael Vick.

I met Michael in 2005 at an NFL exhibition game in Japan.  We both share a love of fishing, and I had hoped we could find some time to head out on the water while we were there, but we could never get our schedules in sync.

Tuesday, Michael and I finally had an opportunity to talk.

I feel I need to keep Michael’s thoughts private for now, but I do want to let you know some of the things I shared with him.  I think they have application to anyone experiencing a time of trouble, or who will face troubles ahead.
