"I kept all my cards and refer to them from time to time when I need a boost. One of the cards, from one of the graduating seniors of the youth group said, ‘Jim, I've finally stopped calling you Mr. Lamb. I no longer think of you as my adult leader, but a friend who I can chat with and have fun with. It's never awkward and you always have a story or a laugh to share.

"Thanks for making me chuckle! God bless’. How cool is that? I'm getting a little verklempt here. Talk amongst yourselves.” Jim also said he took the picture "in my kitchen, here in Bellevue, Nebraska, USA".
