Jim,
Try to keep your chin up. I know, easier said than done, but God never puts more on us than we can handle. I'll keep you and your girl in my prayers.

Re: Keep Big Jim in your prayers

Will keep you and your lady in our prayers. Sorry to hear of your misfortunes but you have it right. Engines can be built, houses can be built/ remodeled, and shattered lives can be mended with a strong love by their side. Good luck Jim.

Re: Keep Big Jim in your prayers

Hi guy's

I'm sorry I haven't been on line at all for a few months.
My girl is recovering. I am staying with her at her moms house to help out.
My house is still screwed up and I havent messed with the truck at all.

Thanks for the kind words and prayers.
Everything will be OK, still a little tuff though. I am going to be back online now.
