The Sky Is Not the Limit
The Sky Is NOT the Limit is a collection of adventures that have taken us around the world. Each chapter is an individual story and can be read independently. Perhaps when Joan and I are old and gray we will sit together and read and re-live all these memories. The stories take you to the four corners of the world, on all seven continents, and the major cities of the world. At last count the number was sixty countries and counting. I am not too sure who else would be interested - perhaps one day our grandchildren and then one day their grandchildren. Young people who would be curious to know something about their ancestors and what life was like at the close of the 20th century and the dawn of the 21 century. Oh well, who knows. But it sure was fun writing about these travels. And a whole lot more exciting creating these memories with my soul-mate.
A Thank You Note to God . . .
Jim began his recovery from alcoholism on July 18, 1973a gift of grace (an unwarranted gift) from God. Both Jim and Joan have spent a major part of their lives in an effort to help other families recover from this horrific disease, with Joan as a counselor as well as being in support groups. Jim was involved as a board member of various alcoholism programs and support groups. Jim was given the opportunity of a second chance at life. He shares about his family, wonderful children, and grandchildren, a successful business career, various volunteer activities, blood donor program, coaching Little League, and church activities. The book is an attempt to share this with the reader and to illustrate that there is hope for those still struggling with this disease.
We Are Not Letting Go . . . Ever!
