Dearest FReeper-Patriots, FRiends & Readers,
On the good news front, Jim's heart is good and strong, (we knew that), but on the other side, Jim is coming home from the hospital today to await a rescheduling of his surgery.
He's fine with that, knowing it's all in God's hands, so we must continue to pray and put all of our faith and trust in God. "In God, We Trust."
Our FReepathon got off to a great start yesterday with 18 Donations of $100 or more and 3 New Monthly Donors, including 1 New $1-A-Day Donor! I mention these Donations because of our Campaigns: Our 300 Club and Our New Monthly Donor Campaign, which I'll describe below.
Every quarter, FReeper I_be_tc, challenges 300 FReepers to match her $100 donation. Yesterday, I kicked-off I_be_tc's $100 challenge to get things started, so please join me, if you possible can!
It was a big stretch for me, but I want to try to get this FReepathon done quickly for Jim's sake, and I know y'all do, too.
If you send in $100 or more per quarter, please send me a note (in Jim's temporary absence) and I'll add your screen name to the 300 Club Roster! Now, please don't be shy about adding your name. We know you're humble, but seeing your names on the Roster often times inspires others to join you!
Our New Monthly Donor Campaign got off to a great start, too! We conduct this campaign because reliable Monthly Donations are an ideal way to support Free Republic. We already have 3 Very Generous FReeper Sponsors, Tijeras_Slim, upchuck and "somebody", for this Quarter's NMD Campaign! All three FReepers are donating $10.00 for each New Monthly Donor who signs up, so please consider Donating Monthly, if you can reliably do so! $15 a month is 50 cents a day. Please ask yourselves, "what is FR worth to you?"
Whether your donation is $5, $10, $20, $50 or $100 or more, it all helps keep FR alive and will be sincerely and truly appreciated!!
In closing, I know times are tough, unconscionably tough, but for Jim's sake, I'm asking you all to please dig deep and to please dig deep right away or as soon as you possibly can, so that Jim can have some peace of mind while he awaits his new surgery date and then after his successful surgery, he can spend his time recovering, instead of spending 2 months fundraising.
In Jim's temporary absence, Just Amy, (whom you all know and adore) will be posting the incoming. She is Jim's life-long, close friend and also his business partner and FR's bookkeeper. So please, let's get those donations coming in! However, with Jim at home today, we might see him here too!
We Can Do This, provided We ALL pitch in right away. Please always remember, $25 keeps FR ALIVE!!

Thank you all so very much!!
Thank you all so very much for your prayers for Jim.
Our good Lord is listening. God bless and keep you all and everyone you love.

Prayers for Jim his beautiful wife Sheila and sons Chris and John and his fabulous, caring doctors.

"Out started six officers, seized my bridle, put their pistols to my breast, ordered me to dismount, which I did.
One of them, who appeared to have the command there, and much of a gentleman, asked me where I came from; I told him. He asked what time I left . I told him, he seemed surprised, said ''Sir, may I crave your name?'' I answered ''My name is Revere.” ~Paul Revere

The Old State House.
On July 18, 1776, the Declaration of Independence was proclaimed from the east side balcony to jubilant crowds by Col. Thomas Crafts (one of the Sons of Liberty). At one o'clock Col. Crafts rose in the Council Chamber and read it to the members.[7] Then, fellow patriot Sheriff William Greenleaf attempted to read it from the balcony, but he could only muster a whisper. Col. Crafts then stood next to the sheriff and read it from the balcony in a stentorian tone. For most people, it was a festive occasion, as about two-thirds of Boston residents supported the revolution.~Wikipedia

"Of all the many talks I had in Washington, none gave me such pleasure as that with you. There were two reasons for this. In the first place, you are about my oldest friend. In the second place, your self-assurance and to me, at least, demonstrated ability, give me a great feeling of confidence about the future
… and I have the utmost confidence that through your efforts we will eventually beat the hell out of those bastards —

Change in plans! The surgeon cancelled his trip. All tests are go. Surgery is now planned for tomorrow morning. Will be transferring soon out of ICU to a regular room. The chaplain stopped in for another prayer. Looks like we’re ready to go. Pulse rate coming down. Prayers up!Praise God!
Praise God!
I'm so happy! We're ALL HAPPY.
Your surgeon might not know it, but God helped him cancel his trip.
PRAYERS UP!
I just got home from my orthopedic surgeon. I'm all set. NO surgery needed on my knee, now or forever, unless I take a stupid, careless fall. God is GOOD!!

Jim, that is great news. It will be wonderful when you wake up from surgery and realize that you are pain free! No more constant pain that you have probably been living with daily.
Prayers up!
