    In this Bird's Eye View episode we bring you a talk that Mike gave in February 202 at St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church in Mukwonago, WI. The talk was given the day before Valentine's Day, but Mike assured the audience that that was mere coincidence (evidently he and Rev. Bortulin don't always remember the date of Valentines day...shocking, really).
