One thing’s for certain and two-for sure: Jimmy Carter has lived (and lived good), with a quality of life that (at age 90) most of us pray to be able to live: growing old with good health and all faculties in tact without incident.
At the ripe age of 90, between May and June, Jimmy Carter received news that he had cancer and had part of his liver removed but after an MRI, it was also found that he had cancer in four places in his brain that since, has been treated with radiation.
Onward and upward, the faithful bible study teacher who, until his cancer scare, had never missed but two days of teaching, is currently on supplemental medication taken intravenously but other than that, is back to his old young self again at heart and mind.
In all but 3 days since announcing and receiving treatment for brain cancer, Jimmy Carter was right back [to] doing what he’s loved and has been committed to for decades: teaching Sunday school at Marantha Baptist Church in his hometown of Plains, Georgia.

This past Sunday was Carter’s 689th’s lesson where he stood in front of the church and pew and joyfully greeted all: “Morning everybody! I like to know whom I’m teaching,” he said-before asking each member to shout out where they’d come from as, people from far and wide came to see Carter give his bible study class after his announcement that he was suffering from brain cancer.
