I was two months away from getting married when I suffered my very first out-of-the-blue epileptic seizure. Along the path set before me in the years to come, with all its twists and turns, I learned to trust in God that although many things were out of my control, I was put on this blessed but sometimes broken road with purpose and I wasn't alone. I could choose to fear each of the unknown curves and bumps along the way or to have faith through them. Painful as each may have seemed at the time, I needed to endure each challenge placed before me for a specific reason. Blessed with Brain Damage is my story of faith, strength, survival, and taking things one day at a time. I may have come out of these experiences with both emotional and physical scars (from invasive brain surgery), but I have learned how much richer my life is by adopting the attitude of gratitude. Many angels, here on earth and from up above, came to my aide along the way and by sharing my encouraging story, I hope I am in my own small way paying forward the kindnesses I received. I wanted this to serve as a reminder for to my daughters of their own inherited strength as they navigate whatever roadblocks they may come across in their own lives. Blessed With Brain Damage is an essential read for anyone struggling with epilepsy, addiction, or simply in need of a message of hope, positivity, and gratitude while encountering challenging circumstances in this crazy thing called life! *A portion of the proceeds from book sales to go to the Eastern Pennsylvania chapter of the Epilepsy Foundation*

Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go. Both are from the New American Standard Updated Edition.

My relationship with Dana is briefly romanticized and the arrival of our children glorified. The union with my beloved bride started to change dramatically over time. Often with the distractions in life, I lose my focus and then my cool. My head injury was the source of these changes. It became the greatest culprit of all. Unfortunately, my wife fell victim to my relentless physical aggression, albeit unintentionally. As the story unfolds, for my wife the question would be her reaction-Till Death Do Us Part ... or not?

Why do our lives sometime go in unexpected and even unpleasant directions? The apostle Paul in Romans 5:1-5 provides a major insight into dealing with this life question when he reflects upon the life sequence of suffering, endurance, character, hope, hope not disappointing us, and joy. This book discusses all this and is also a wonderful testimony to the role of the Christian faith in helping anyone to recover from tough life events.
