Fellow Seed Sower Jim Jones went to be with the Lord on Thursday, November 13th. www.Fool4Given.comOur hearts hurt, but we rejoice that Jim is seeing the LORD face to face! Jim leaves behind his wife Kelly and 2 girls. Jim was a druid priest as a wiccan when the LORD saved him. I have personally been on the streets with Jim several times witnessing. He was a bold preacher of the Gospel of Christ.

Man killed when bicycle collides with large truck TIMOTHY BULLARD/Daily Courier This was the scene at G and Southwest Dimmick streets after a fatal bicycle accident Thursday. The dump truck in the background was involved in the incident. By Jim Moore of the Daily Courier Comments (No comments posted.)
A Grants Pass man died Thursday afternoon when the bicycle he was riding collided with a large truck. The crash occurred on G Street near Oak Street. Dead is James Shelvy Jones, 40, of Grants Pass.
Detectives reported that a Moser Paving truck driven by Gerald Eugene Mercer, 73, was involved in the accident, which occurred around 1:27 p.m.
The truck may have been coming from a nearby construction zone, farther west on G Street.
Otis Farrell said he was riding a bicycle westbound on G Street and was a witness to the crash.
He said the bicyclist was northbound and did not stop before entering G Street, apparently from Oak Street, in front of the eastbound truck.
The truck swerved to its left, but "the truck driver didn't have a chance to hit his brakes," Farrell said.
More than a dozen public safety personnel, two fire trucks, an ambulance, a police motorcycle, several police cars and two public safety pickups converged on the scene. A section of G Street was closed and traffic was detoured around the scene.
The investigation is ongoing and anyone who witnessed the accident or has any information is asked to call the detective division of the Grants Pass Department of Public Safety at 474-6370. o o o

Sad day, but the Lord delights in the death of His saints! Ps 116:15
