Will be transferring soon out of ICU to a regular room.

PRAISE GOD!
Thank you, Lord!
God bless you, dearest Jim!
Thank you ALL for your prayers, and please continue praying!
Surgery for Jim tomorrow morning. We'll let y'all know as soon as Jim lets us know!
Our FReepathon got off to a great start yesterday with 18 Donations of $100 or more and 5 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 with my $100 donation 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 spend as much time as he needs to recover after his successful surgery, instead of spending 2 months fundraising.
In Jim's temporary absence, Just Amy, (whom you all know and adore) is 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 in his own room tonight, we might see him here again 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!!

Our good Lord is listening. God bless and keep you all and everyone you love.

I missed the poem. I need to check this thread between chores around here....I don’t even know what time Jim is scheduled for surgery, but I’m praying.
A friend of mine is a longtime Freeper from NJ...she hasn’t posted in years, due to the time constraints of working full-time and raising three girls. I sent her the prayer thread, and she is adding her prayers for the boss. She met him in 2000 at the inaugural ball and has never stopped talking about it. “Did I tell you I met him?” :)
I’m out! I deleted everything I had in 2012.
I kept most of it.But I got rid of Romney stuff.
God,I am in your hands.You know me from my mothers womb.
Wise Creator, soothe my pain; heal my body and soul.
Good Jesus, you went doing good and healing many.
Once your hands raised the dead to life: restore my health to me.
Once your hands gave sight to the blind: take me from the darkness of my fears.
Once your hands were nailed to the cross: strengthen me in sickness and pain.
Holy Spirit, Giver of Life, Helper and Friend, Source of all good gifts, bring peace and comfort to me. Amen

the only thing that is preventing all that from happening right now, today,
in the next five minutes is that Speaker John Boehner wont even let the bill get a yes or no vote because he doesnt want to anger the extremists in his party.."~Barack Obama

I got rid of all of the Romney stuff as well.

What a disaster.
And he isn’t finished.
Everyone keep posting so I don’t have to look at the same posts ‘cause I’m sitting here waiting for news, waiting, waiting, waiting, and waiting on phone call about my friend, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, ..........................
