Jim's Story

I've been married for 16 wonderful years to the love of my life. I have 1 beautiful daughter who is now 8 years old. She is proof that if you wait long enough good things will happen. To those who figured it out, yes I was 44 years old when I finally became a daddy! My favorite words of all time is "I love you daddy." It brings tears to my eyes. I'm an old softy:) I work for a company in Goodland where I'm a set-up operator. Before that I worked for a company called Wadake. In 2007 the company was moved to Tiawan. Why didn't I follow? I just couldn't work for 23 cents an hour. Such is the economy. One thing I truly enjoy doing is talking to people about the bible. This and reading the bible has helped me tremendously in dealing with the trials of life. Nothing like listening to other people's troubles to help you put yours into perspective. I enjoy listening to music. In high school my big 3 was John Denver, Neil Diamond and Barry Manilow. I still like them but over the years I've grown into other music such as Celtic; Dougie MacLean, Maura O'Connell, Celtic Woma...Expand for more
n and so forth. Some country, some blues and oldies rock. Interestingly, oldies rock wasn't old when I was young. The best thing I like to do is spend time with my wife and daughter. We manage to have alot of fun even if we're at home. Is there any better place to be? I also enjoy knowing I have a worldwide spiritual family. No matter where I go one of my friends will be there for me. I couldn't find this in any other religion. My favorite place to go is Colorado. It is so beautiful there. It's amazing how small you feel from either looking up at a mountain or looking down from one. Durango, Silverton and Colorado Springs are mine and wife's favorite towns. We took our daughter out there last year. She loved it!! One thing I wish I could have learned more of in high school was computers. They're a pain in the rear but a necessary evil. I lost both my parents recently. My dad in Feb. of 2008 and my mom in Feb. of 2009. I miss them both terribly. But, I look forward to seeing them when this system comes to its finish. Look forward to hearing from someone.
