Corvette time about over
Over the last 3 three years I have been battling Renial Cell Carcinoma. It started in my right kidney (removed), went to my left lung (partially removed). I have been unable to drive my cars over the last six months.
Now its my right shoulder, the cancer was partially removed with radiation. I go this AM for a full body scan to see where it has progressed to. The prognosis is poor at this time.
So I would like to say thanks for all the good information over the years I've gotten here from you folks on maintaining my '66 BB Coupe and my '99 vert. I feel I have many friends here that I have never met.
I currently am living as best I can, using three month segments. I am in the end of the second segment. I want to say good buy now while I still can.
So, when your driving down a winding road or on a city freeway, give the load pedal a punch and remember me.

We pray for Mike and all those undertaking chemotherapy, the use of medicines or drugs to treat disease, and that the Lord will work out His perfect will in Mike's situation and bring about healing.
We ask The Great Physician to heal all those who have undergone surgery and radiation therapy and that the fire of God will destroy all those cancer cells.
We speak peace to Mike and all cancer patients and ask the healing virtue of Our Lord God flow through every vein, tissue, cell, and ligament and that healing will manifest.
We believe God's desire is manifest in Mike's life. His desire is written in 3 John 2 "Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along."
We speak peace to all families with cancer patients. We speak uncommon provision to cater for all the expenses needed to take care of these patients.
We destroy every generational curses and declare they will not continue, but the blessings of God will overshadow each and every one of you.
We're in perfect agreement with God's word in Jeremiah 30:17 "But I will restore you to health and heal your wounds declares the LORD."
So be it, Mike, in Jesus' Name.
Amen!!!

I know you can hear the wail of the four barrel in your 427 whether you're in the car or not. Listen to that music. It's in our blood and part of our lives. It sounds to me like you are a man of courage. That is , I think, the most important thing. I will pray for your courage to remain strong.
For myself, I don't pray for deliverance from my personal health problems. I pray that I can be man enough to face them when the time comes with dignity and courage. Like you. Prayers and RESPECT sent.
