I had the chance to sit with Rick for a few hours the other night and discuss this whole situation....I just went to drop some cookies and he opened with "Dude, I have a brain tumor!"....Wow, did not expect that.
His trust and confidence in Jesus as savior, healer, mender of broken hearts, lover of hearts makes me tear up as I write this. I love his heart for Jesus and am always astounded by the boldness of his words and the depth of his trust in Christ. To quote Rick from the other night:
"Another seizure? Bring it on if need be. The battle is already
won....Jesus already conquered death for me; what is there to fear?"
I love his clarity and ability to simply articulate the Gospel of Christ.
Rick has been dreaming of the chance to have a green mohawk at some time in his life. He had the chance years ago in college while playing in a band, but chickened out. Teaching at a small private school does not lend to the realization of his dream.....but having a brain tumor with likely brain surgery does. This blog will track his latest news, progress and with any luck a picture of his green mohawk.
His faith is so powerful. I look up to my cousin.
