Fly to Jesus, Jim!

Our wonderful friend, Jim Taylor, went home to be with his Lord and Savior today, about midday... just in time to sit down at the Lord's banquet table for lunch!  Jim has only been able to have liquids through a tube for over a year and he said he was going to be able to eat real heavenly food and now he can also sing and carry a tune, beautifully! 

Jim led the Men's Bible Study here at Sunscape until just about a month ago, when he simply ran out of enough air and energy to talk much.  He has preached almost all of his life and God has used him in many ways and in many lives.  We love him so much and will miss him greatly.

We rejoiced that he was able to get home to Michigan and he was able to say good-bye to his home church.  He was surrounded by his family when God brought him Home.

Thelma, because she knows where Jim is and because she knows he is no longer suffering, is holding up pretty good.  But the days ahead will be an adjustment for her.  Please pray for my buddy, Thelma, and the rest of Jim's family during this time.

Sweet Jesus, please tell Jim how much we love him and we will see him again one day.
