The story of Michael and Jess is one full of intrigue, adventure, drama and romance. To fully understand its complexities would take a War and Peace type novel. Therefore, we will tell the condensed version. A little over five years ago, Jess started attending church at The Life, where Michael had been attending and serving. Though over several years there were many opportunities for a spark, Michael and Jess did not get along well because of Michael's loving brashness. It was when their lives seemed farthest apart that Michael realized he was attracted to the beauty, Jess. On a cold winter’s night, Michael called up Jess to ask her to coffee in his "hawkard" way. Jess reluctantly agreed. After their first date concluded, Jess was amazed and confused at how much she enjoyed his company, and they continued to talk and "build a friendship"...at least in Jess' eyes. Michael relentlessly pursued Jess, even when she would not compliment him and intentionally tried to drive him away. Finally, Jess realized that she truly adored the man that Michael was and agreed to be his "girl". There began a relationship that was forged by the hand of God. Obviously, there are many questions that have not be answered but that is why you simply must ask Michael or Jess for the whole story. Their mouths will draw into giant smiles and they will start by saying, "The story of Michael and Jess..."
