I am really excited about this! 

Imagine a flock of origami cranes, one for every brain injured person!

Full details and instructions here:
www.BrainInjuryChaplain.com

We need your crane by March 1 to kick this off!
To kick off the Brain Crane Flock, we want to get your crane to the BIA for March 2008 Brain Injury Awareness month, for use in various press events. If at all possible, please mail your crane by March 1 so we have a wonderful flock to start the wings flapping!

Please forward this to any person, group, state level BIA, support group, and media you know! Help us spread the word and get as much publicity for brain injury as possible! If you have any questions, please email me at lamontglen@mac.com. Thank you!

A big thank you to Susan Conners, CEO of the Brain Injury Association of America and Paul Price, Executive Director of the Brain Injury Association of Colorado for their enthusiastic support of this feather brained idea! And an even bigger thank you to all of you for helping make it happen!

Blessings,
Patrick

It&amp;#39;s all good (but, is it the Best Good?)

While I focus on Traumatic Brain Injury because that is my disability and my primary ministry, I believe the concepts are universally applicable no matter what our disability.

Facing disability can lead us to question God, our faith, others, and the journey can be ardious. However, walking it together we find the road easier and the burden lighter. Please feel free to email me if you would like to talk.

Blessings,

Patrick
