    Prayer Request

    My brother Jim is being kept alive until tomorrow when they disconnect life support. Alcoholism has all but claimed him. Apparently he was hunting from his truck and ran off the trail, getting stuck. He did not have a phone on him. It appears that he had a seizure, fell down and spent the 20°night on the ground. My 89 yr old father found him this morning. EMTs took him to the ER with a core temp of 80° He was previously diagnosed with 10percent liver function so between that and the Hypothermia brain function is probably gone.
    My big brother taught me hunting and fishing and reloading and he didn't have to but he wanted to. Dad was by necessity working all the time to feed and clothe us.
    Jim referred to the Outdoors as his Church. He was a believer, but not a congregater.
    Pray for us and thanks for listening.

    Thomas, I am so sorry about your brother's condition! May God bless Jim, you, your family and Jim's friends.

    Father, as Jim prepares to come unto You, I pray that he is out of pain and that he is resting comfortable. Please be with his medical team who are attending to his needs. Father, please be with Thomas and his family and friends as they deal with Jim's serious condition. Please help them to see the correct path to take to make sure that he is well cared for and that Jim is pain free and comfortable. Father I know that You know all and heal all and that we are healed through physicians that are working to care for Jim. Father please hear my prayer. AMEN
    When guns are outlawed only criminals and the government will have them and at that time I will see very little difference in either!

    Crying and joking, my son suggested Jim is getting fishing lessons from Jesus right about now.... I want to thank you all for the prayers. God is Love.

    My prayers and condolences, Thomas, are with Jim and you.
    I give loading advice based on my actual results in factory rifles with standard chambers, twist rates and basic accurizing.
    My goals for using cast boolits are lots of good, cheap, and reasonably accurate shooting, while avoiding overly tedious loading processes.
    The BHN Deformation Formula, and why I don't use it.
    How to find and fix sizing die eccentricity problems.
    Do you trust your casting thermometer?
    A few musings.

    Jimmy passed at 5:15 pm. Ironically at quitting time. Thanks again for the prayers- ya'll have blessed my heart a thousand fold.
