My dear Jim, there's no replacing you, "ever". Seeing you so sick, was difficult and I made bad choices, I was so scared and helpless. You will forever be a part of me and my daily living.

SINGING IN THE REIGN

"They sang the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb." —Revelation 15:3
We Christians will be persecuted by both the religious and secular authorities (Lk 21:12). As Jesus was betrayed by Judas, we will be betrayed even by our "parents, brothers, relatives and friends" (Lk 21:16). Some of us "will be put to death" (Lk 12:16). All will hate us because of our love for Jesus (Lk 21:17). Our reaction to all this bad news is not to "hang down our heads and cry." Rather, "when these things begin to happen, stand erect and hold your heads high, for your deliverance is near at hand" (Lk 21:28).

For this I will be a willing servant of God. Amen.

Jimmy, the most beautiful man I ever met.

E. B.

My world was turned upside down, when you got sick, I and now it feels to be unpleasnat. I dont want to sound ungrateful, yet, Jim, my friend, I miss you. FOREVER.

LOVE INCARNATE

"I find great joy and comfort in your love, because through you the hearts of God's people have been refreshed." —Philemon 7
One of God's primary ways of loving us is through people. Think of the person whose love has enabled you to know more deeply the love God has for you. This person has refreshed you through their love, bringing you "joy and comfort" (Phlm 7). When you were with this person, their love was so refreshing it was as though Jesus Himself was refreshing you (see Mt 11:28). When you look at their face, you know "God is Love" (1 Jn 4:8, 16).

May love "be the root and foundation of your life" (Eph 3:17). Through your love, may many people "be able to grasp fully, with all the holy ones, the breadth and length and height and depth of Christ's love, and experience this love which surpasses all knowledge" (Eph 3:18-19).

Prayer: Father, thank You for the people You send into my life to love and refresh me with Your love. May I in return bring Your love into many lives.
Promise: "The reign of God is already in your midst." —Lk 17:21

Lovely and sweet, Jim was my man * Im Honored*

"THANK YOU, JESUS!
Jesus took the occasion to" comment on the importance of the proper relationship of man to God — humble, grateful praise (Lk 17:17ff). Refusing to give God thanks begins a downward spiral in our relationship with Him (Rm 1:21ff).
Life with Jim was awesome, I have to be grateful, we loved eachother because we worked, took care of eachother,we read & laughed, played,& cried.
We only had eachother.

Our dogs bug and babs, they loved Jim so much.

Mrs. J B

November 7, 2012

He would've been cleaning up the yard, and get ready for winter, he was so smart, and strong, Miss my baby, Jimbo allday, everyday.
We acknowledge that the Lord owns everything; we are only His stewards (see Mt 25:14ff).
Prayer: Father, for love of You may I always want to give You more.
Promise: "Even if my life is to be poured out as a libation over the sacrificial service of your faith, I am glad of it and rejoice with all of you." —Phil 2:17

My love my man.

Elizabeth Barnes

Jim was such a blessing to have around, his hands were so beautiful. I leaned on you so much that I can't seem to see the light.

Checking his sugar, he was so funny.

My life is so meaningless, I don't know what to do. I will always feel this loss, yet, be grateful for our life together. We had so much to do.

Elizabeth Barnes

October 23, 2012

Must love people enough to tell them the good news of Jesus, and
should rejoice in the Lord always (Phil 4:4).
Prayer: Father, may my every breath be a "thank-you" to You.
Promise: "It will go well with those servants whom the Master finds wide-awake on His return." —Lk 12:37
To be reunited with my Jimbo.

Having family time. The best was JIM.

Mrs. J B

Happy Birhday Jim, i miss making a big deal out of it, even though you didn't want me to, and Felicity, making your cake on your birthdays was great, I miss kissing your feet and loving you.

Jim born 10-16-58.
15 months, he would have turned 54 tomorrow. I will celebrate his life and death, with OUR Father, whom I know, will always and forever, be my PEACE.
RE-BORN FREE

"It was for liberty that Christ freed us." —Galatians 5:1
Prayer: Father, may I use holy water to renew my Baptism deeply and daily.

We were in the country, looking for a piece of land.

Promise: "The works of His hands are faithful and just; sure are all His precepts." —Ps 111:7
And becuase of this, my faith is restored, we were always meant to be. Thanks be to God, our Father, for bringing Jim BArnes into my life, and I understand why you took him home. His mission on earth was over, and truly it was to make me a wiser person, and to be a servant, as Jim was to me. Thank you. I will keep on loving you.

Jim and Liz. Always happy, and content.

Liz Barnes

October 6, 2012

All my life, I wanted someone like you.
being with you has been the best thing I could do. We had a life ahead of us, unfortunately you got sick. You once said you were my angel, my arch Angel "Michael"

Making our time meaningful.

Mrs. J B

October 5, 2012

Life is so uncertain, just when you think your on top of the world, it all falls down, and will never be the same again. I grieve because I miss your loving and caring ways, and all the genius in you, my dear, Im sorry I didn't fight harder. Gods will is all I can seem to grasp, and until we meet again, my life will never be the same.

we hiked that trail, was so nice, and drank of course.

Mrs. J B

October 5, 2012

Tommorrow is never certain, with your life on earth over, I grieve only because we only had so much time, it was the time that God allowed, and I cannot question it. I miss ur genius, and ur loving and caring ways, Im sorry I didn't fight harder, but again its what was to be, like that song "let it be". I am forever grateful for the time we did have, and the wisdom you helped me achieve.
I love and miss you so much, Jimmy.

Only Jim looked great with no clothes at any age. He was so beautifully built, perfect, just like God, the lover of my soul. Thank you Lord, for Jimbo

Mrs. J B

September 20, 2012

Though, you cant be here with us, I keep you alive in my heart, and memories. Death is just death, it doesnt kill love, and I wont let it. The memory of you is always.

Jim was so proud of me, I wonder if I'll ever be that happy or smile like I used to when he was here, I can't believe he's gone.

CROSS-PURPOSES

"If a man wishes to come after Me, he must deny his very self, take up his cross, and follow in My steps." —Mark 8:34
Prayer: Father, may I boast of nothing but the cross (Gal 6:14).
Promise: "The Lord God has given me a well-trained tongue, that I might know how to speak to the weary a word that will rouse them. Morning after morning He opens my ear that I may hear." —Is 50:4
Praise: "We adore You, O Christ, and we praise You because by Your holy cross You have redeemed the world."

What is Life?........
Without you by my side.........

Jim making us a bookshelf, that shelf is a sturdy and heavy like no other, he loved having us, right there to learn, he'd make us sit and watch.

Mrs. James Barnes

August 30, 2012

Memories of you linger in my mind and heart, every day, all day, I gather our time and experiences in my mind, we will forever be grateful to our Lord and Savior, for allowing Jim to be in our lives, although Jim, was a man with harsh words, rightful intentions and costructive critisism, we were all bound to learn from his point of view. I feel guilt, sadness, and joy, all at the same time, Jim was a man that brought all these emotions to the table, I can say, that God send him my way, as he would broaden my horizons. We must all show gratitude to all whom do this for us, they are a gift from our Lord.
Thank you Jesus.

We miss you soooo much !!!

Hi Jim - remember us lonely people.

Another lonely day, without my Jimbo.
Why is this so hard. But I quickly make it understood that thats all God had planned for him.

Jim and Mary, together again, how wonderful, back when she came down, I love you Mary.

Mrs. Elizabeth Nancy James Michael Barnes

August 22, 2012

With Mary, a visit to our home, Jim was showing Mary some pictures, he was very happy to see his main lady, I'm grateful for her, and I realize that our God, knows and had always known what he is doing, he has the book of our lives written out even before we are born.
Prayer: Father, may I lay down my life for the sheep You have given me (Jn 10:11, 15, 17).
Promise: "Thus the last shall be first and the first shall be last." —Mt 20:16
Praise: The Blessed Virgin Mary, a lowly teenage girl, was raised to high places (Lk 1:52) as Queen of heaven and earth. Praise God, Who rewards His beloved for their service to Him!

THE FUNCTIONAL FAMILY

"What is the meaning of this proverb that you recite in the land of Israel: 'Fathers have eaten green grapes, thus their children's teeth are on edge'? As I live, says the Lord God: I swear that there shall no longer be anyone among you who will repeat this proverb in Israel." —Ezekiel 18:2-3

It has become fashionable to blame our parents for our problems. Some people try to excuse their actions, and even their sins, by saying that their fathers were alcoholic and abusive. Others appeal to the fact that their mothers didn't want them. Some talk about not being told as children that they were loved. Others blame their problems on the genes passed on to them by their parents.

There is some truth in these excuses. Our parents do have a greater influence on us than any other people in the world. However, our parents should not have a greater influence on us than God does. The harm in the most dysfunctional family should be eclipsed by the perfect functioning of the family that is the Holy Trinity. Even the worst things that your father or mother did to you are secondary to what your heavenly Father did for you when He gave His Son to die and rise to save us. Sin and evil have significantly increased, but "grace has far surpassed" them (Rm 5:20). We have no excuses. We are in God's functional family.


Prayer: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, may Your living in me take precedence over everything that has happened to me.
Promise: "Let the children come to Me. Do not hinder them. The kingdom of God belongs to such as these." —Mt 19:14
Praise: "I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall ever be in my mouth" (Ps 34:2).
"Let no man separate what God has joined." —Matthew 19:6

He is sitting at the table with the Lord, and Jim, his loved ones and my loved ones. Im so happy for them.

Mrs. J. B.

August 14, 2012

Today I had a wonderful memory of Jim, I'll share it. We had been riding our bikes to San Miguel, we must of been on the road for 2 hours and he stopped and told me that we went to far out, I never minded, becuase when I was with him, I was safe, and I loved him so much. It was funny when we realized that we had gone out to far, because our bikes never got a flat but then again Jim was the best mechanic ever, so even our bikes were awesome.I would like to also, give rememberance to Saint Maximillian Kolbe, for his undying love for the lord.
RIP 1-8-1894 to 8-14-1941

Jim, King Of Chevy, had his chevy lights, I gave him for Christmas a couple of years back, since he did hold Chevy as the best, and Jim was the best.

E B

August 5, 2012

The happiness that a person feels when so happy with another person, is like the most beautiful time in the world. Pictures we shared, are the only memory of happiness I have, but I dont care to feel that again, HE was the love of my Life, my husband, parnter, friend, & my soulmate. That brings a smile in my heart & Jims face smiling right back at me. I remember lying in bed and mesmerizing at his side profile and I'd ALWAYS let him know just how beautiful he was to me. Jim will always be a with me.

Jim was my angel all along.

Mrs. James Barnes

August 2, 2012

I wonder why he had to leave his home in Ohio. We were meant to be. New mexico, was our stomping ground, being from Texas myself, meeting Jim here, just reminds me of what Jim said to me once, "just because your born somewhere don't mean you have to die there. I guess we were both meant to live our lives here in the three crosses, he picked a good place to die, and I will too will die in this town. JIM & LIZ FOREVER. Thanks be to GOD.

My Lovely Husband, This was a lonely day, and it hasn't changed

Mrs. James Barnes

August 2, 2012

Jim, had alot of plans, inventions for the better of human kind, but mostly the gathering of all our belongings and to get away,and start our business, we had it all, and now theres nothing, and I still have most of our things, but since he's been gone, life is strange, and all that we had plan doesn't matter.

At Felicities 7th b-day, jim was alwayscharge any no-one told him a thing. He was the man of the house.

Mrs. J.B Barnes

May 28, 2012

I'm certain we were sent on this journey, to allow us to grow to love everyhthing, we were allowed to do, Most people will never accomplish to find the kind of love that we had for our lives. He always took care of me, cut my hair, worked me hard. I'll never forget HIM, they are beautiful memories, and I never stop crying, He was beautiful. A great Human Being. My Life partner.
Until, we cross paths again. My Jimmy. AKA (you doesnt have to call him jim)

Working on a mustang, Jim knew all the tricks.

Mrs. James Michael Barnes

May 25, 2012

No one can take away from us what we had, our lives were productive and full of hard work, projects & anything under the sun. Life, as I knew it, has dramatically changed. Doing this without him is impossible for me, since he was my teacher, mentor, friend, & husband, I wonder if he knew he was setting me up with knowledge and skills, for me to go on without him,
He is very much missed and my life seems so uncertain, and I must know wait to see him again.

Mrs. James Michael Barnes

May 24, 2012

All life has to offer is a love that is everlasting, and this is a blessing, when you find it, but when it is shortlived, well, then, all you have are the beautiful memories, and life is no longer a beautiful place. We must know wait to be reconciled in heaven. " but the Holy Spirit will give us the divine unity,as He did at the first Pentocost(Acts 2:7-11;Eph 4:3;1 Cor 12:13)

Another precious moment.

At home, having us family time, best times of my life.

Mrs. James Barnes

May 15, 2012

My life is so lost without you, your caring ways are truly missed, there is only one thing I hope for is to see you again. Lord' " I will worship at your holy temple and give thanks to your name" (Ps 138:2). "the prince of this world has been condemed"

Getting ready for another job

E. Barnes

May 9, 2012

Its been over a year, 367 days to be exact. Jims life on earth was awesome, because how many of us get the chance to travel, and get a job the very first day you get there, not many, with his great skill, and his beautiful self, well, you all can't even imagine what a beautiful time we had together, from fighting off people that don't like to work, or pay, to talking our heads off, sometimes till sunrise, but Jim was really good at making me the proudest wife in the world. may people try to explain, that God needed him, so he took him. I feel he is an angel,my personal angel, and that well, how can anybody EVER beat that.

Jim with Mary his mamma.

Liz Barnes

May 5, 2012

All he wanted, was to do his thing, which was probably very difficult for most. Being a witness to his great ability's, well I was on top of the world. Oh, how quickly things go away. This is probably the worst one should endure.

Jim M. Barnes, my late husband, was a skillfull man, his ways of life were hard work, and many breaks, only because he could, A perfectionist does'nt need to take too long on a job, everything came so easy for Jim, I can't imagine what great life he'd had if he had made it. He lives only in my memory, and thats all I have, to make it through the day.
Life was beautiful with Jim, because he was beautiful. I think about him coming from far away only to call the city of the 3 crosses, his home, & final resting place. & 3 was his favorite number.

As a young man you had a genius about you. As a man you were beautiful, tough, skillful, & brave. All the qualities I believe you got from your mother & father, I miss "YOU" so much. I thank Our Lord for allowing us to cross paths, it seems we both needed the same thing, thank you for coming into my life

My life will be lived with all our plans, unfinished projects, and attitude. Jim was the only person in this ugly world that worked so hard and got nowhere, all just for being generous. The world is a horrible place to be without you, until our paths cross again, I will hang on.

It was a great pleasure to know James and be in his presence. There was almost never a time with him that was not filed with a lot of laughter and also learning. There are not many who appreciate the smallest of thngs in life. It is a comfort to know that James was alive with the Spirit of GOD and that he rests in Jesus, even if he didn't know how greatly. I never saw James turn anyone away. Many took advantage of this kindness not knowing the self damage of the selfish, yet James continued to give without condition, never selfish. A man like James has truly kept his gteatest blessings and treasures in the the peaceful Kingdom, to come. GOD bless you my brother......I'll see you soon, I know this.

You were lucky Jim, you had what we all want, someone to love. I'm sure you knew that and definately appreciated Elizabeth in your final hours. Know that she still loves you deeply. Even in death you can be her guide because she thinks of you all the time. She needs your guidance now, in the aftermath of your passing. Come to her in her dreams - she will feel your presence. You know her life is hard and she has much to deal with in her own family. Visit her in her dreams and share the peace that you now have, so she can go one with her life knowing that, in spirit, you are at her side.

Looking as beautiful as ever. Jim @ the hospital.

It's been 5 months now that i cant touch or kiss your face, ooh this hurts so bad, I will endure this pain & sadness, since I was your wife, I just can't believe your gone. Dear Lord, help me take this pain, along with the loving memories, until the day I'll be with Jim, in heaven along with our loved ones.

Jim had made such good food, he'd rinse and prepare it with love everytime. He was so special, We had so many wonderful times, I don't ever expect to meet another human being like my Jim, so I am truly blessed to have been his wife, & privilaged to have been there with him at home, when our Lord called him home. Therefore if we simplify, we show our love for the brokenhearted and for the Lord of the brokenhearted (Ps 34:19). Simplify; repair; love.

Jim & I, were always needing to be together. Like an addiction....

This was the time when Jim told me he loved me, and that I did more for him than his 1st wife and all girlfriends put together. That is when I knew we would get married."because we are in Jesus light.Since Jesus shines through us, people will be attracted to us (cf Zec 8:23) and thus through Jesus to us.

Jim & liz; I just loved his gray showing.
