Hi everyone, i apologize for my lengthy absence. I hardly know where to start...
I've had some real ups and downs in the last year. After our time of disappointment last September, i had to refocus a number of things in my life. My family was in rough financial and emotional shape and so was i. I decided one day to pull away from Unsealed for a while because i wasn't handling the stress well and i felt i was not serving my Lord well in my frustration. So i stopped.
However i was never entirely out of the loop. I kept in touch with the Lord and shored up my relationship with my kids. My wife and i have struggled a bit too but we're stable.
I've kept in touch with Gary and some of the other watchfolk from around the world. I love you guys and i have seen the Lord work in this last year in some amazing ways. The Lord has shown me some interesting insights along the way.
I don't know how often I'll manage to check in, but here i am saying hi, and i love you all.

Also wanted to assure everyone we came through the storm just fine. Our area was not hit by anything more than a blustery day.

You were missed greatly my friend and hope to see you back a little more frequently unless we are changed, transformed, caught up soon. Blessings to you and your family dear brother. Hold tight to Him, and know we are here for you!

Hey Jim!
It is great to hear from you. I've thought about you often over the past year (missed your posts and insights... And fiction) and have been praying for you.
Your post made my morning. It is okay to realize the need to refocus. I am glad you have been able to see the Lord working in your life.

Thanks everybody. I have been an Uber driver the past nearly 6 months to provide for my family. I've completed o er 1,000 rides and met amazing people, most of them lost. I've been able to counsel and encourage a number of folks and it's been rewarding.

Hi Watchmanjim, so very nice to see you again and know you are ok and safe. Just wanted to let you know your words spoken/seeds planted to the passengers will someday return/recall to their memory.
