May 11 was Jim's 25th spiritual birthday. we decided to throw a fabulous bash at fox run park with all of jim's good friends and his parents who were in town! Those who could not make the trip sent a stone. I know that may seem a strange gift, but do you remember the line in the old hymn Come Thou Fount which says, "here i raise my ebenezer"? Many of us presented Jim with an Ebenezer stone to remember all that God has done in his life up until this point and excitement as we look to all that God will do in and through Jim in the years to come. It was a beautiful occasion with lots of good friends and food!
