Wherever it comes my time to cross the golden bar, may He guide me, and no one can turn me back. My Shepherd is beside me, and nothing can I lack. His wisdom ever waking, His sight is never dim. He knows the way He’s taking, and I will walk with Him.

Mr. James Collier was born on September 17, 1971, in Valdosta, Georgia, to the late Willie M. Collier and Majoire E. Collier. He graduated from Lowndes County High School.

If I am inclined to doubt; steady my faith; if I am tempted, make me strong to resist; if I should miss the mark, give me courage to try again. Guide me with the light of truth and grant me wisdom by which I may understand the answer to my prayer. Amen.
