Posted By: Heartpain Here's to NSR...let's all thank him - 02/27/00 12:58 PM
I think it's time for another awards ceremony. We had one a while back for lostva and now I think we should honor and thank NSR(Jim).<P>Jim is going thru as tough or tougher situation than a lot of us. It breaks my heart when I think about what he is going thru. He is a good man and doesn't deserve this at all.<P><B>BUT</B>, he is <B>always</B> here to provide a sympathetic shoulder(or ear whichever you need).<P>He is our "welcome wagon" initiating new-comers to the MB concepts and assuring them that they will find sympathetic friends and much support here.<P>He never lets his personal situation interfere with his great desire to help others.<P>He is a wonderful father and a loving husband(sometimes I wonder why, given what his wife is doing, but you have to know him to understand).<P>He has responded to my posts in the past and has this incredible ability to calm and soothe me when I am going crazy.<P>All in all, I think he qualifies for sainthood!!!<P>Jim, I'm <B>soooo</B> very glad you are here. You are one of the good guys...no, take that back, you are one of the <B>best</B> guys!!!!<P>luv ya, man....

Here's to ST. JIM!!!<P>He was the first person to answer my first post. And just knowing there was someone who cared made me feel so much better.<P>Thank you Jim!<P>Love,<BR>Mitzi

Honorary Jim!<P>You are a 'guilding angel' for many of us. We are very glad you are here. Without you we would ramble to no avail.<P>You are our glowing light, our forgiving friend, our helping hand, our shining star, our respectful buddy, our smiling keyboardest, and our forever pal.<P>God Bless you Jim... may His light shine upon you always.<P>One of your followers... another angel [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]

I second what everyone says. You also were the first one to respond to my posts. This forum is a Godsend.
Long overdue, Jim!!!!!<P>You amaze me completely... so much so that I sometimes forget that you are a betrayed spouse! You put your own pain aside, and you've obviously done your research about MB, because you know EVERYTHING there is to know about stuff around here... I honestly (for awhile there) thought your last name might be "Harley". <P>You are one of the really GOOD DECENT CARING men on earth!<P>It is a privilege to know you!<P>~Sheryl (in the bowels of lurkdom)<p>[This message has been edited by new_beginning (edited February 27, 2000).]

I too thank you Jim for your help and your support and your caring. You were one of the first to answer my plea, and I know that wasn't an easy thing to do given that I am the betrayer.

Jim, <P>I think you and Lostva both were the first to reply to me. It is a wonderful feeling to be welcomed into a group like this one. Granted, I wish we all met on different circumstances. <P>I think you are a strong person. I think of your comment, hate the sin, not the sinner, when my H gets me down. You provide strength to people with your kind words and wonderful posts.<P>I wish you the best in your struggle to save your marriage.

Jim-<P>Your really do deserve a heartfelt "Thank You" for all that you do. Each day when people from around the world feel the earthquake like affect on their life, coming to this site with you standing at the door is such a lightpost and beam of hope.<P>You quickly make everyone know that you feel their pain, remind them to read, post and that the road back will take a strong back and much hard work.<P>In the early days of the chaos and feelings of desperation, your presence makes many first time visitors feel the hope they can "Make It" and make that first step on their road back with a little help from a friend.<P>So, as all before me have said...Thank you!<P>mrrlk
