Hi! My name is Michael from the Washington DC area. I just wanted to say hello and look forward to interacting with you all. I feel richly blessed for what God has done in my life, and I hope to share my experiences and insight with you and yours as well! God bless! 
I must admit my first thoughts were much like Nathanael concerning you coming from Washington D.C.
John 1:46~"And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see."
I am more than willing to
Come and see. May God truly bless you and you a blessing to many here. RB
