My Life's Buffet
Jerry Payne was raised in Bossier City, Louisiana.  During World War II, his father was killed in action.  America flourishes, as a boy's dreams grow into incredible adult challenges and opportunities.  He built his life around friendships that would make his stories come to life.  Always involving himself in the next experiment his career led to his life's ambition, politics and advertising.  Decades pass his parents and spouse die.  Lonely and floundering skin cancer threatens his life.  Thinking the end is near.  He learns it is not.      Incredibly, his life's buffet offers a change beyond belief.  As often happens, they were good friends during high school.  They lost track and allowed forty-two years to pass without seeing or talking to each other, never knowing each other's destiny.  God gave them a gift of love, and they married in a storybook wedding.  Then a rare lung cancer struck.  The Doctor said softly, "Jerry, there is nothing I can do for you."  God smiled, and a new pill miraculously appeared.  In three months, the cancer was gone.  Praise God!
