From Johnny earlier today:
"Time to fess up.
Turns out I have brain cancer that moved there from my lungs. Prognosis is poor. I had brain surgery a couple of weeks ago.
Of course, being me, I intend to fight hard to the very end, and beat the odds. I may well be around for harvest season this year. That is my intent. Normal prognosis is in weeks.
I've held off on bringing this up on FR for several reasons. But the time to bring it up is now.
Consider this my opus. It's as close as I'm going to get to giving one.
I really want to thank Jim for giving us a forum. Jim, you do good work. Thanks."

My prayers for you and your family and your dogs. I have enjoyed chatting and sparring with you on several forums. FR will be a poorer site without your witticisms. My husband survived a brain tumor quite well a few years back, but he was very lucky. I pray that his luck rubs off on you.
Dang it! This is just WRONG!
Prayers for you being sent.
Thanks for posting that link!
Thank you for the ping, WF.
There are a few posters here that I always look forward to seeing and you certainly have been one of them.
I will always remember you as a true American Patriot and even though you may be gone, for those of us here at Free Republic, you will never be forgotten.
May God bless you, Johnny, I pray he welcomes you into His embrace.
You're welcome, Berdie.
Yep, and your friends stand ready to help you with whatever you need. Just holler, and we'll make it happen.
Hi! I promise to remember you especially in my prayers! Please keep us posted! May God bless you and all those whom you love!
Thank you for the alert PastorBooks...and thank you LUV V for pinging the Prayer Warriors! God Bless you both and I lift my prayers up with the others for JRandomFreeper otherwise known as our Dear Friend...Johnny.
Lord Jesus, may it be Thy will to restore Thy servant Johnny to full health. Be near him, o Lord, in the hour of his trial.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, amen.
PS: My Mom was a cancer survivor. She was sent home, with nothing more that could be done, when I was just a toddler- and through lots of prayers, I had her through age 75! Where there is life, there is hope! May God give you peace! (((Hugs!)))
So sorry to hear this. I’m praying for you, Johnny.
Johnny, I will keep you and your loved ones in my prayers. May God bless and comfort you and give you strength.
Amen, xzins. That's a beautiful prayer. May God bless your grandson.

Psalms 23:1-6 NKJV
The Lord is my shepherd;
I shall not want.
He makes me to lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside the still waters.
He restores my soul;
He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil;
For You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil;
My cup runs over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life;
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord Forever.
Prayers for you Johnny.
I’ll be praying for Johnny. I have enjoyed his posts over the years.
