To: Jim Robinson
My dearest beloved of 42 years is struggling with advanced Parkinson's (rigid type), and just broke his hip, from a “freezing” episode and consequent fall.

As I am praying for my husband, I am also praying for you.

We get these trials in life for some reason, most of the time it is beyond our understanding until we look back on them with the wisdom of a few years.

Be brave, dear Jim. Focus on the good you have done in bringing FR to life. Concentrate on just the next day's challenge. Do not dwell on all the “what-ifs”. Just deal with the next bump in the road.

Tony and I are so grateful to you for bringing the conservative folks together. You started before the MSM even knew we all existed. And, as my beloved husband is just now understanding, it isn't the nonfunctional body parts that matter, but it is the mind and the brain.

You obviously have a good setup in that regard, Jim. Just let the docs and the physical and occupational therapists do their best with the rest...

Our love to you, and fight that depression with a vengeance. My beloved is struggling with it right now. I have faith that he will figure out how to tame the “black dog”, and I have faith that you will be able to do so as well.

Just think of this an having to eat an elephant. You can only do it one bite at a time. Start with just the first bite. Have faith in your life, and just keep taking each day's challenges as your own personal calling.

You never know who else out here in cyberspace you might be helping!

Love to you and yours, from a faithful long time friend....

Jackie Joy.

My prayers are with Jim. Have been for days.

But, Lord, I also lift up in prayer Jackie and her good husband at this time. I pray, dear Lord, that you will see to their every need and bless them in these trials.

Amen.
