Retrospective
December 28th 1987 was a day that was supposed to determine how much and how long. The "how much" is how much cancer was inoperable and the "how long" was how long I had to live. I had undergone a series of X-rays, bone scans, (where they shoot this radioactive dye in your body so that your bones kinda glow when they take pictures with this machine) CAT scans and other tests to that all verified the same thing. There was cancer in my lymph system and in my chest near my lungs. I would like to say that I was the beacon of faith and strength, but it was others who stood in the gap for me. A couple weeks before the surgery, literally people all over the world were praying for me, as well as people in my local church. There was a prayer meeting that started for the express purpose that God would remove the cancer and heal me prior to my surgery. I was under the knife for four + hours as the doctors looked for what they could not find. There was not a shred or a spot of cancer anywhere they looked. (Somewhere in the archives of Massachusetts General Hospital there is a old and dusty file under a Robert-Michael Kectic Jr. that has two sets of X-rays that look like they come from two different people) It is through this experience that I know that God's answers prayer. I have an 11 inch scar that goes from my the middle of my back and stops just short of my sternum and another three inch scar under my arm. These are my scars of grace, they remind me of what was and what could have been. (If you are reading this, and you know me, and might doubt if God answers prayer, remember that every time you see me, I am in fact, a walking prayer request answered. There was little hope for my survival.- If you don't know me, know that God cares about your stuff too, most of us just don't bother to ask, or we ask in a way that is very half-hearted)
