Life

Mike,

I saw your original post earlier this week & couldn't believe it...& then couldn't get back until yesterday, when I see things are looking better for you. The guys on this post are awesome in their encouragement. I know you've sensed their big brotherly hugs! Also, I speak for most of us in saying that as much as we like the old Mopars like my 67 cuda convertible that's being upgraded to 340 power, deep down we all know that there are things in life so much greater than cars. Things like friends & love and relationships. Our most valuable possessions are our relationships. There's a saying that love lasts forever. As much as I would like to see Jesus returning to earth in a Hemicuda followed by the angels in 440 6 pak R/Ts, the truth is none of that stuff will matter in a thousand years. What does matter is Life & Love & our relationship with God & others. In fact I know that most of us would give up our cars and projects to see your life spared. Thank God that's happening. That's my 2 cents worth. Your life is more important than all the iron that Chrysler ever produced. Along with all of the other great encouragement from your friends in this forum, I thought of 2 things. 1) in your Bible, check out the 2nd half of Romans chapter 8 to see how much God loves YOU. In fact he thinks about you all the time & your picture is in his wallet. He's WILD about YOU!! the 2nd thing is theres a recent movie called "To Save a Life" Check your local listings or get the video. This flick focuses on teanage suicide head on. I know it will touch your heart and further your recovery process. And bring a hanky or bath towell. Well, that's it. I hope we get to meet some day & would give you a big bear hug. Remember, we're counting on you! And you know, some day sombody else will come along with this same struggle & you know what? You'll put your arm around them & say "hey we're going to get through this together. I know because I did". Won't that be AWESOME. Remember, it's all about how we relate to others to love them & help them along the way.
