Hi Dewey.
Thanks for the message that you posted on my wall. It’s particularly helpful these days as I’m battling glaucoma, a disease that slowly pressures the eye to become blind. I went to the optometrist two days ago and she said that my vision continues to deteriorate to the point that surgery to relieve the pressure is immanent. After the surgery the sight of the eyes will remain as it was when the operation was performed. I’m feeling low today because this ultimately means that my driving days are just about over and I’ll have to rely on the kindness of other people if I want to get anywhere.
Where is God when His people are hurting? I try (poorly) to follow Him and get this result. We’re going on to 60 years old, Dewey and I don’t know about you but I’m scared. One heart attack, diabetes and glaucoma. The odds are stacked against me. I’m tempted to move back to Windom to live out the last few years I have.

Brother Jim we are storming heaven for your healing! Let us turn to Psalm 18:6…….In my distress I called to the LORD; I cried to my God for help. From his temple he heard my voice; my cry came before him, into his ears. God hears you Jim. We love you Jim and are praying for your complete healing, in Jesus name, Amen!
Jim, this verse also just came to me…….Isaiah 41:10………So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
Soak in the Word of God, and listen for Him! Amen!
We have folks here at FGGAM that call people in need of prayer. My thanks to David Christenson of FGGAM who prayed with Jim on the phone today. I also have had a couple of conversations with Jim. Please join us here at FGGAM and pray for our Brother in Christ, Jim.
