From an article in Exceptional Parent, entitled “SEIZURES AND TEENS: The Impact of Seizures and Epilepsy on Families” To effectively cope with epilepsy, families must navigate through three stressful phases.

When will we stop reading Scripture … As “an owners manual” for life. As a book that justifies our own hatred. As a book that justifies our own righteousness. As a book that justifies our own cultural milieu. As a list of rules that everyone else is breaking. As a book full of little bite sized “truth nuggets”. As “Jesus’ Guide to [...]

Ok, so I have 3 people that check my blog and it has summarily inspired me to post something witty and clever. Unfortunately, I don’t have anything. An update will have to suffice. I am currently going back to school for nursing and am having to retake all my sciences since it [...]

Okay, Okay, so as a good friend pointed out, I recognize and admit that I have dropped off of the proverbial blogosphere. I am currently back in school and seem to somehow use up all my words there. I can’t, however, seem to bring myself to shut the blog down, as I [...]

Dear Mr. Roker, I heard your comments and your apology regarding epilepsy. I also heard you say that you were not joking about epilepsy, but I don’t believe that to be true. You said: “Some people actually complained that the logo actually sent them into epileptic seizures, (laugh by someone in the background), others say it’s [...]
