The Reverend Doctor J. Mike Howington has worn many hats in many situations,
but for the most part he was a computer systems analyst/architect for more than 40 years. In January of 2017,
Dr. Mike retired from that very lucrative career. Now, wait - it is true that Dr. Mike made very good money as a computer systems
consultant, but Dr. Mike is a very poor steward of his money and his family habitually spent more than he took in.
