SEVEN YEARS LATER...

Thanks so much for all of the beautiful comments which I've received today through Social Media, text, email and messenger inbox! I feel the love now more than ever...

Ken and I have now been together for 51/2 years, and have been happily (and legally) married for nearly 3 of those years...during that time he has had 2 granddaughters, lost his father, begun helping me care for my elderly parents, helped me with the ministry and with the opening of my art studio, and we have enjoyed every minute of our life together...he loves his job in Greensboro, where he has worked for many years, and we both live a very open life as out men and as a married couple in both his world and in mine...

We are very involved in the lives of all six of our children and of our four grandchildren, and we see them all regularly...they are all doing well, and we are grateful for every one of them, and for their constant support of us...family is everything...

METRON is now well into its 4th year, and I love it and am so proud of it...ministering there is a continual pleasure, and I am so grateful for the people who have continued to follow me, and still hear my voice...

Can't believe how time has flown, but life is good and we are blessed...

Thank you all for your wonderful support for these last seven years...

I love you all!



Cynthia Alford I remember... I was there. What a wonderful milestone in your life. I'll always be proud of the man that you are. ♡♡♡

Brian Binkley Williamson so many lives you've touched with that declaration. You are free to be who you were made to be. Still touching lives, married to a wonderful man. I am just one example of a life you've touched. You made me realize that God still loves me no matter what others say. I have hope again. Meeting Ken on FB has brought so much joy to my life. Who would ever thought that a social media would bring someone so special into my life? Thank you Jim. I say what I said to you the first time I sent you a message. I still believe your greatest work for God lies ahead. Can't wait to see what the future holds for your ministry and you and Ken.

Avery Price Rogers News anchor George Stephanopoulos’ reaction to the report ABC aired after this vid went viral is deeply etched in me. You know the head-turning way you feel when, in a crowd, you hear someone with perfect pitch singing? It was like that. This man, who ...See More
