Jim is ok......

Months ago, I promised you all that I would keep you in the loop with Jim if you promised to not get ahold of me when every little thing happened in the middle east. As hard as it must be to not ask questions, I do appreciate it so much!
On Wednesday, Jim was in a serious accident with his convoy. He did have to spend some time in the hospital, but he is 100% okay and was released yesterday. He wants everyone to know that he is fine and not to worry. It was a very fluke thing that happened, not combat related.
We love you all and hope this is helpful and not something that will make you worry more.
Please continue to keep Jim in your prayers because it's very clear that God is protecting him!

My parents! Dad was the one who got to swear him in,
It was a special day!

He's the spitting image of my dad, especially when
they're both in the same uniform!
