Finishing What He Started

Jim Roepcke's weblog: Finishing what I started

Jim has been a great friend to me over the years, from mailing-list-co-member to development mentor to friendly acquaintance, to real friend. I've watched him go through some really hard times and tried to stand with him as best I could.

I am so stoked that Jim is headed back to school, and has gotten himself out from under all the debt he found himself in as a result of the aforementioned hard times. Jodi and I are trying to do the same, tightening our budget so that we can retire some long-standing debt. It's incredibly freeing.

Proverbs 22:7: The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.

It's the truth, folks.

Congratulations, Jim and Cheryl! Good luck with your studies Jim, and Cheryl – we want pics of Cyan and Wavie! :–)
