We have another resident celebrity featured on today’s Wednesday Spotlight!
Everyone say hello to Mike O’Brien and his lovely wife, Bambi! Mike serves the Journey in so many ways; we are so thankful to have him as part of our church family. Read on to learn a little more about Mike!
- Position at The Journey? I am the Chair of the Journey Executive Board, and I serve on the Welcome Team and Foster Parents Night Out (FPNO).
- How long have you been coming to The Journey? Bambi and I moved from Plano, TX to Austin, TX back in the summer of 2010 and found the Journey within a few months.
- Where are you from? Bambi and I were both born in San Diego, CA, but we got to Texas as quickly as we could. We moved from CA to TX back in 1982.
- Tell us about your family: Bambi and I have been married for 47 years and we have two children, Jason (deceased) and Shauna. We have four grandchildren, Anthony, Corey, Maddy, Olivia.
- Favorite Bible verse: Romans 12:2 – Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.
- Do you have any pets? We just got a new 16-month-old mixed lab, husky, and chow named Harley.
- Favorite vacation you’ve taken? We were able to spend a week in Ireland back in 2016.
- Favorite hobby? I enjoy golfing when I have time.
- Favorite football team? There is only one choice, America’s Team (The Cowboys).
Here is a picture of me golfing (Bambi was caddying) with some locals at an old course in Limerick, Ireland.”
