About this ebook
Challenging the Dragon is about living life with Multiple Sclerosis, an incurable disease.
It isn’t often that a person opens ones life to the world, even more difficult for a man to “open” himself to others. Women are naturally more open then men, that is a given. Why is it so hard for men to be as open? Opening the heart, mind and soul for Jim, came with the life changing diagnosis of an incurable health “challenge” that the world labels as “multiple sclerosis”. Learning to live with this daily “challenge”, Jim has accepted the adversities, adapted to the ever changing lifestyle and through perseverance and determination, continually learning to maintain a new sense of spirituality and fortitude. This “challenge” has provided a unique perspective to the meaning “Live One Day at a Time”. Truly, that is all any of us really has - just Today! Learning to live “today” to the fullest has been totally rewarding and has enriched Jim’s life.

Join me on this journey and discover thereby the possibilities that announce themselves to us all on a daily basis. Witness life through the eyes of one seeking a 'healing', a 'miracle', while learning what life truly is about; a quest for the meaning of life that for this writer includes the motive for hammering out this tome; helping but not judging others, and loving all of creation.Diagnosed with progressive multiple sclerosis - given 3 years to live, 21 years later still kickin' - still working, albeit from a wheelchair and work now is computer & Internet - helping others through Compassion-care.org - a 501C-3 that I formed and am director.

Raised 9 children that are adults, married with families of their own. Remarried with 2 additional children, however we are living half a world apart due to the fact we have been unable to obtain visas for them to the USA.I am happy, positive and love God as the center of my life but do not agree with church hierarchy or what they indoctrinate people with, although they do much good.
