Yesterday (November 17) was Jim's (husband) birthday. He would have been 85. He passed away ten years ago!

For a good amount of the time that Hiz Kidz, a Christian ecumenical after school program was part of the fabric for local students, Jim and I served in varying capacities.

In February 2013, Jim was hospitalized for an issue with his heart, a struggle he had for 40 years.

The 'kidz' took "The earnest prayer of a righteous man has great power and wonderful results." (James 5:16) to heart. And they prayed that Jim would get better and be back to be with them soon. And he was! He lived another 20 months!

Because they prayed and believed? Maybe. Probably!

Hard to beat the faith of young kids!
