Everyone,
In short, things for James have taken a serious turn. He is need of your prayers. He gave me discretion to allow folks to know about him and his need for support.
And my discretion says he needs everything he can get right now.
So please keep him in your prayers not just this moment but over the next few days especially.
I am in contact with him and I would like to let him know that much wax has melted over for him this weekend. And I know for certain more than a few tears.
Lord have mercy!

We cannot legislate morality by passing laws controlling firearms. The only evil we can combat lies within our hearts. We need stronger laws to protect the moral foundation of society against the evil of gay marriage. |

Not to sound cliche, but there is much truth in the saying that "it is darkest before the dawn."
Hopefully, James has reached his "darkest" point, and can now get the help he needs and begin to recover.
Through the prayers of our Holy Mother, may the Lord have mercy on him!
