It's not too late!

Hey guys! It's not too late to send in your pictures!

I have been getting a lot of emails, texts and calls asking if it is too late or apologizing for not getting the pictures to me before today. Don't worry about that! I hope to keep this an ongoing project for JB's journey!

Please send in your photos when able--I welcome them! Many of you have stated that your friends and family are doing a photo later this week--thats okay too! Send 'em on in when you can to SwanSwanna@cox.net or ShawnShauna@cox.net

My goal this weekend was to collect as many as I could from you guys before he sees the blog tonight! As we continue to pray and support JB, we can show him with our photos! I'm anticipating lots of photos to arrive after the James' family view the blog tonight and send it on to their friends and family! I'm looking forward to viewing the new photos and sharing them with you!

Thank you again!

I just got finished reading JB's journal over at www.caringbridge.org/visit/jbjames and I can't wait until he sees this blog tomorrow!

I truly believe it will lift his spirits. He really needs your thoughts, prayers, encouragement, love and support right now. God Bless each and every one of you who have taken the time to do so.

O Lord, we call upon You in our time of sorrow,
That You give us the strength and will to bear our heavy
burdens, until we can again feel the warmth and love of Your
divine compassion. Be mindful of us and have mercy on us
while we struggle to comprehend life's hardships. Keep us
ever in Your watch, until we can walk again with light hearts
and renewed spirits.
Lord God, may we be grateful for our lot, and compassionate
toward all those who are suffering every kind of distress at
this difficult time. May we hold back nothing,
and hasten to be the ministers of prayer and mercy, like the
disciples of Him who went about doing good in times of need.

Dear Lord, I am calling upon you today for your divine guidance and help. I am in crisis and need a supporting hand to keep me on the right and just path. My heart is troubled but I will strive to keep it set on you, as your infinite wisdom will show me the right way to a just and right resolution. Thank you for hearing my prayer and for staying by my side. Amen!

"I can do all things through Christ, which strengthens me."
