Here We Go...

Hello.  My name is Daniel.  In 1996, when I was 11 years old, I was severely brain injured during "routine" hernia surgery by the resident anesthesiologist who did not have her head in the game that morning.  But I will not look back; rather, I press forward to do and be all that God has created me to be--in spite of being unable to read, write, or do anything for myself.  My goal is to be a "Barnabas" in your life--to encourage you to keep pressing on, to "keep on keeping on" as my dear cheerleader Melsie used to say, to NEVER, EVER GIVE UP no matter what you are going through.  And so there you have it...the first day of my blog.  I'm not sure how often I will write at this point, but when I do, I hope to encourage you to live your life--whatever that means, wherever you are--by God's grace and for His glory because, in my humble opinion, that is the only way to live this life.  Thanks for reading...thanks for embarking on this journey with me.
