I wanted to express my deepest sympathy to Brother Jim's family as well as the members of First Baptist Church. I am praying that God will comfort you during this most difficult time. My favorite story of Brother Jim is the Easter sermon that I heard him preach as I would visit my family on Easter each year. He would always tell about visiting the Holy Land and looking inside the Tomb of Christ! He would get so excited as he would say, guess what, He ain't in there! He's alive! As we celebrate Brother Jim's life, let us remember that enen though his life on earth has ended he is with the Lord who he loves so much.
