I’ve had very little contact with Jim and Debbie since I left Jackson, Mississippi, in 1981. It was a year and a half ago that I was last in touch. They were doing development work in Myanmar. Their graduate degrees in business, economics, and public policy are being put to good use.

Lord, You know where Jim and Debbie are. Please keep them safe. I should say keep them protected since following you isn't exactly safe. Amen.
