Friends,
Sherri, Jason, Amanda and I would like for you our friends to share in our joy as we welcome into our family my daughter Jessica. There is a huge God story attached to this announcement that we will in detail revel in the coming days.
No I didn’t have an affair. Jessica is from a relationship that I had before I meet Sherri. The “details” will follow as soon as possible all of us will be sharing something about our part in this remarkable event.
Please know I consider this to be one of the greatest experiences of my life. It is very deep, very spiritual, extremely personal and extremely wonderful. It has shown me much about myself, my family and God’s great care and love for His children.
We welcome Jessica, her husband LeRoy and their sons Matt, Seth, Aaron & Jacob in to our family. We are extremely excited and honored to have them be part of us.
Peace & Blessings,
Jimmie, Sherri, Jason & Amanda

Tell them So! During this holiday season we are all going to be with friends and family and that means conflicts. It’s just part of life, we all get on each others nerves, we all have times of making someone else mad, saying things in the heat of the moment that we really don’t mean. This will happen, but be ready to get past this. “Tell them So”.
What do you mean “Tell the So”? I am in Kentucky at this moment where we played one of the concerts on this years Christmas tour. The highlight of the evening for me was playing the song “1941”. It is a memorial to my parents Pete & Marge and their generation that some call, the greatest generation. They were depression era kids and when the call came for them to fight and sacrifice for the cause of freedom they rose to the call.
The first verse of the song says this “Just a boy from the farm, he left the plow and took up arms, Pete was just seventeen. December 7th gripped his soul, December 8th he swore an oath to fight and die if that’s what it took, 1941”. I think about my Dad at seventeen my grandparents giving their permission for him to go fight our enemies. I realize that the young that fight our wars’, are our most precious and valuable resources, that we ask to risk the most and we must be forever grateful.
When I talk about this song I talk about it in two lights, one honor and the other regret. Honor is obvious, all who have fought for us deserve our respect and esteem. But regret? Yes, my personal regret for things I should have told my folks, “Tell them So”. Words that I wish I had taken the time to say to my Mom and Dad, words of honor, words of respect, words of the deep love that I have for them. But I was silent, I kept my words to myself and now that my folks are gone my words have no value expect regret.
Sure, my folks knew I loved them but I could have done a much better job in telling them so. I remember the moments that we were together, I had the time, you know just a passing alone moment in the kitchen with my Mother at a family dinner, just a moment alone with my Dad to look them in the eyes and “TELL THEM SO”. Say the words that need to be said.
So this holiday season, take the time to tell those you love that you love them. Take, or make the time in your busy holiday schedule to take just a few minutes to tell them about the love and respect that you have for them.
Here is a copy of my song “1941” my way of saying thanks to very great man and woman who has fought for our nation and as my folks for being the greatest Mom and Dad in the history of the planet. Of course I am sure you say, “no it’s your folks” who are the greatest and all I have to say to that is well “TELL THEM SO”?
So from our house to yours we love you and are thankful for your love and friendship.
Peace & Merry Christmas,
Jimmie & Sherri
Here is my newest deal!!! A great music video on my song/CD “Man! It’s Christmas”. The video was created by Isaac & Sandra Alongi they own Isaac Alongi Studios in south KC. Isaac brought out the newest HD camera available “RED” all in know about that is the video looks and is fantastic. Thanks Isaac & Sandra.
Look close for Sherri she is in the video a couple of times, she is in the opening shot, those are her really great looking boots and she is giving me money! WOW! My son Jason was busy the day we shot video but my son-in-law Jonathan, daughter Amanda, grand daughter Mikaela and grand son Zayne are in the video too.
I wrote this song just to celebrate all that Christmas is. As a believer in and follower of Jesus Christ the joy of Christmas is something I experience every day. But our culture has latched on to this holiday and made it into what it has become in our nation. I simply wanted to just take about two minutes and eleven seconds and express my love for all things that we celebrate during the holiday season. “Presents, mangers and miseltoe, socking trees and lights that glow, turkey dressing and all that stuff”. I love it all because as Jesus came to this planet with the intent to bring us all back together again as family, so I hope this holiday season is with you you reconciled to God and each other.
So I hope you enjoy the video and the season and with the angels I say “peace on eart and good will to men”.
Peace & Merry Christmas,
Jimmie
