Hey Jim- this Blogspot is a gift from all your friends to encourage you in all that God has in store for you!
Nap & I will never forget meeting you when we were very new to Mariners in 2000 or 01. You spoke about your trip to Egypt. All we heard was that there was a terrible problem with heroin there and you were somehow involved with recovery stuff. We couldn't wait to talk to you about our son! Our journey over the years has been blessed and enriched as we spent hours in the Family Support group, not recovering him, but OURSELVES! You have been an enormous blessing to us.
It has been a pleasure working with you at Mariners. I believe we met driving down to a BCM build with the Outreach Team. You were driving some sure to be stopped or stolen type car and we ate Shelley's chocolate chip cookies all the way down!
May God richly bless you in all you do in the days ahead. It will be exciting to watch and see the doors God opens for you. I'll be cheering you on!
Reverend Jimmy: It's easy to remember the sudden impact you made at Mariners, minutes after you arrived. You pioneered a God-centered Recovery ministry that opened our eyes and hearts to ways of dealing with our issues and healing our hurts. And what hit me was that you know a lot about a lot of things. I love that you can talk about just about anything. You are one of the smartest men I have ever met. Yoli and I are among the hundreds of families who are forever grateful for your wise counsel and help in dealing with critical family issues. And I am pretty darn confident that God is going to do a great work and remove the blinds from your eyes and the hardness of your heart that is causing the denial that you are a New York native and like all true natives, a lover of the Yankees, not the Mets. It's no longer politically correct to follow the Mets, Jim. Leave that to the Boomers. You, a man from the Bronx, are now free to back the team of your youth and heritage-the celebrated Yankees.
I love you Jimmy and God bless you in this great new chapter of your life. - Bob Brogger
Jim - It was such a blessing to hear the outpouring of affirmations to you today. You truly have left your mark on Mariners and there is a ripple effect of everyone you have touched. Thank you for being so giving of yourself, your time, and your talents. I truly hope that God will lead you in the path He has set before you and that you will find joy in the adventure.
Jim - what a blessing you have been to our family, which is now functional, thanks to your ministries of recovery, care giving, and modeling "sitting Shiva" for us. You are part of our family, and we know a different, loving God because of you. May God bless you abundantly as He leads you in new adventures.
Jim's history at Mariners is full of helping PEOPLE. Stories abound from the CARE ministry and the recent MarinersResources.org ministry.
Jim is embarking on an exciting NEW journey! Please use this space to leave your STORIES and affirmations, a memory, or your personal greeting to send him on his way...
