From the back of the Church, Jim lumbers forward, carrying his message of love, another note written in big black marker on whatever scrap of paper he has found usually a church bulletin or flyer for some event. He approaches shyly with an irresistible smile waiting for the lone woman in the pew to lift teary eyes from her prayers.
The woman, whose fifteen year old son has SSA, has been receiving these notes for a year. She and her husband decided the beautiful prayers from the simple man, who signs them alternately, "Jimbo" or "Big Jim," should be shared with other families of SSA.
"The notes," writes the mother, "which are few, always seem to come at the perfect time and hold the perfect message. It is as if Our Lord is whispering into this man's ear, telling this total stranger exactly what He wanted me to know. I came to feel the notes are from God, and whether miraculous or not, I believe they are not meant for me or my family alone, but for all the mothers and fathers and families of SSA."

Jimbo's Prayers
May the good Lord send you angels above, below you, on the right side of you, on the left side of you, in front of you and in back of you and yours.
People are precious to me. Jesus loves us all and remember lift Jesus higher. Lift Jesus higher. He said, "If I be lifted up, I will draw all men to Me." Lift Him up for the whole world to see.
(Lady) was standing among 100,000 flowers in a field, and you were the flower your husband picked to have and to hold for your entire life. God made you beautiful and your mate beautiful together, never to part. May a spark in our hearts turn into a burning flame for the love of Jesus Christ. I believe it all has. May the good Lord bless you and yours.
