The purpose of this group is NOT to insult one another, name calling or attacking what one does or does consider to be truth or a particular spiritual belief. In the future I will remove anyone who does not follow some simple rules of consideration for members of this group.
Thanks, Phil

Diane Wise said… Greetings Phil,
I'm a member of this group but am wondering whether you facilitate a group in the Chicago area. I currently live in Elgin, quite a distance from Chicago but I can often find ways to get to where I want to go.
Are you aware of any BI groups in the NW or NE suburbs other than in Mchenry or Elk Grove? Having enjoyed physically being in an active group in California, Im parched for a BI group here. I'm a member of the TBI Facilitators manual group and may be getting a nudge from the Almighty to start a group. I know that it all starts with one step "Step by step"as Rich Mullins song goes. Any info. you can provide is most appreciated. Although it would be easier for me to not have to reinvent the wheel I can do all things Romans 8:28. Thanks in advance!
Kerry Mischka said… Hi Phil, My name is Kerry and I stumbled upon this site by the Grace of God. My brain injury was on August 23rd, 1997. I was hit by a speeding car as I was driving. He had no injuries, but I ended up being life flighted to the Bayfront Trauma Center in Florida where I remained in a coma for approx. 2weeks. After I came out of my coma, I was sent to Health South Rehab center to learn how to walk, talk, and basically function as a human being again. Unfortunately, my sin nature did not leak out with the blood that came from my ears. Please let me know what this is all about. I am excited that the Lord has brought me new friends. Yeah Jesus !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
phil espinoza said… Chaplain Kenyon, Hello. My name is Phil Espinoza and have had TBI since Aug 2008 after awakening from a three-month coma in which I almost died many times. I would like to be a member of your Group. Prayer has been an essential part of my TBI and I actually prayed "just seconds" before my head hitting an object on the street that looked like a brick possibly dropped from a truck. I went into a long coma but, instantly during the process of praying, I became very at peace with myself and my prayer with Jesus became my new beginning in my now new life with TBI. Spirituality plays a immensely large part of TBI and gives me inner-strength on the many days I feel lost or unsure of my present condition, due to the TBI symptoms such as short-term memory that fluctuates in how it affects me everyday-along with confusion and anxiety which happens sometimes depending on my daily condition. Because of it often changing in how bad my memory is or perhaps understanding incoming information, such as someone giving me some simple directions on the telephone, or something....it often depends on your mood that day.....regardless of the symptoms...that matters to yourself handling your daily and constant symptoms.....it can be a very "imbalanced" and sometimes very strange form of living......whereas-remembering yourself and conditions before your TBI is something you "definitely" have to put behind you....in order to peacefully accept your new self. So yes, having God, now in my life-is my "New Strength" in my "New Life"-in the same body, in the same "World", but now, with a new brain. I actually lost 2 centimeters of brain from my accident.....and my previous life of drinking and other things I tried I am not proud of......I gave into the temptation-and fully accepted my new lifestyle, and since I was a working-full-time Musician, I felt my lifestyle was a part of my musician-life....But I was totally a lost person-It would eventually almost kill me......I now feel that I must serve God by helping others in my new life with TBI by helping others with my experience...and the eventual results. I truly believe God left me here for a reason.....I pray for his daily guidance everyday....to find my purpose.
