Thank you so much for sharing your experiences w/ God. A new life is priceless, even more when a person is given a second chance to see life in a different way. FOR ME, now I truly see the big picture in life. That is why I HAD to write the book, "MY MIRACLE." I hope your time with the grandchildren is very special forever! Those children are already blessed!!! Take care, Rodney

Hello Marty S:
Wow, that is great! I am very happy that you are doing good, being able to work. Thank you for wishing me the best of luck with writing. The book, "My Miracle" is done and its available on most websites, including Barnes and Noble (in stores and online) and http://SharingMiracles.net. My accident has changed my life, only for the better! WE (the TBI survivor's) must stick together!!! I wish and pray the best for YOU. Take care my friend!

Hey everyone:

I am trying SO hard to get a hold of someone who could maybe help me... I lost my job last year, decided to write/publish a book, and its about my TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY, COMA, AND EVENTUALLY RELEARNING EVERYTHING THING OVER AGAIN AT 21 (1991)! The book is called, "MY MIRACLE by Rodney Barnes."

I have tried to contact people! A few good friends mailed the book to major TV shows, but I have not heard anything. I also started a website, http://SharingMiracles.net where you can purchase the book, but also join in or share your miracles or life experiences...

I have not yet found a job, but trying!!! I am glad that I have been given this opportunity to tell people what I had to go through during my major traumatic brain surgery. Before the accident, my life was going no-where. Looking back, it took this accident for me to see the true light and move forward! If you or someone you might know are going through this kind of accident, brain surgery, or injury then please read "My Miracle." It has allowed me to reset my priorities and got me on the right path to discover the educational system, life, and God.

Obama, could you PLEASE read this book. Maybe you can help me...

If everyone has so much to say about the President of the United States of America, then why was he elected?

hello! thank you for emailing me. yes, I already got a publisher, but I found out later they cost some much to get the book printed. I do not make that much money. I did not know about that, until it was to late... my book, "My Miracle" is available on most websites, but because of this PRINTING company (or publishing) my income is not that very good. I heard about other company's who cost WAY less, and that is what I need. this will allow me to make a higher income, plus local bookstores (self-owned) will be able to make a profit also. see, I spoke to some local's they do not work with the company that I have; they just cost to much! I will look into that website! thank you so much for the help.... "My Miracle" is available on http://SharingMiracles.net, that website goes with the book. Take care and GOOD LUCK with your book!!!

Thank you Christy M! I will look into that. I had to write this book about my life and accident. I know that there are people going through the same thing I had to go through and I am just trying to give hope and allow them to understand where I was and the experience. Do you know anyone who could help me? Take care!

WOW, that is very touching for the people who do such things! It is so true about being surprised, not knowing about the outcome that (in which) you were expecting. It might not seem like much, BUT WE CAN TOUCH PEOPLE'S LIVES IN THE SIMPLEST, EASIEST WAYS. That person was thinking of a ticket, when he had no idea of what he was going to get!!!

MY LIFE WAS KIND OF LIKE THIS, NOT SURE ON WHAT TO EXPECT! I was 21 years old, raced cars, surfed, played most all sports, had a girl-friend and job, and was a great person. BUT, it was all gone because of a simple fall, just 4 ft. Nobody thought that this was going to happen to me. Due to this fall resulted in a Traumatic Brain Injury, coma, and eventually relearning everything over again! A person NEVER KNOWS what they really have until it is too late. If you would like to read a book I just published about my whole life visit http://SharingMiracles.net. It is called, "MY MIRACLE by Rodney Barnes." It is available on other websites, including BarnesandNoble (in stores and online). Just like the gentleman that had a wake-up call about his children, I had a wake-up call about several issues of life! A person needs to think about whats around them, make the right choices in life, and choose the best judgements that will allow them to move forward in a positive way... Thanks for this post! Rodney

Harper S. I have to say you ARE SO RIGHT! TBI's are very tough on a person and people who surround this person going through this injury. I went through a lot, thank GOD, to come out on top! My book, "MY MIRACLE" explains EVERYTHING. I hope you can purchase it, read the words and see the photos that go with every chapter (even during rehabilitation). You can go to http://SharingMiracles.net but, also join in or share your own life experiences or miracles. Take extra care! Rodney

Hi Mina:
I do have to say, I LOVE LIFE. After all I have been through, I see life much different than other people. I have to be friendly to whom ever I met, because people went out of their way for me in my past. Friendship is an amazing tool to being happy! As for being nice to other people, it just comes natural for me. You should open up to other people, allowing friendship into your life. About old frinds and family, visit Facebook.com. You can get in-touch with a lot of people. Thank you for those kind words. I hope I was some kind of help to you.

Well, thank you very much. But, the crazy thing about that was that he was not walking with God before the accident. Eventually after relearning everything over he became a new person. That is when he found God. It's so crazy how God can pick the ones that He wants to live and the ones that He wants to be in Heaven. Lisa

PLEASE READ THE BOOK I JUST PUBLISHED, "My Miracle by Rodney Barnes." if you have any questions about Jesus this just might help you!

A true story about an aimless youth experiences a major traumatic brain injury, coma, and eventually has to relearn everything over again at 21 that resets his priorities and gets him on the right path to discover the educational system, life, and GOD. It is worth the reading. You can visit http://SharingMiracles.net and read what people are saying about it. Just go to "share your miracle page" click on the center "share your miracle" then read the discussions. If he did have a family, some parts of America needs to see how he lived! I would love for our children to be cared for as Jesus cared for them!

Hello Rene,

I thank you for purchasing my book. It is based on a true story about before, during, after, and up to this point in my life since I had this accident.

It is about an aimless youth experiences a major Traumatic Brain Injury, coma, and eventually relearnes everything over again at 21 that resets his priorities and gets him on the right path to discover the educational system, life, and GOD.

Since this accident, my life has changed so much. I was able to put my past years all together and publish a book. I never thought in a million years that I would be an author of a book about my life, until now!

I had to share my experience with the world. The biggest reason for this is because of God. He has and is playing a big part in my life now...

I see how people need help with living, food, and adjusting to life. I WANT TO BE THE ONE WHO STEPS OUT AND HELPS THEM... God has given me a second chance at life... I want to help people who are struggling to survive.
It might be remodeling their home, buying them something they need, or a meal.

I am hoping and PRAYING that people will help me with this opportunity. That is why I published this book, "My Miracle." That is why I ALSO started http://SharingMiraclesToSave.net.

This website has over 790 MAJOR RETAIL STORES that will already shop at, love, and trust. Please, help my ministry help the people that need your help.
Thank you Rene and everyone on Gather for your support and friendship.
God bless,
Rodney

YES, AS I HAVE READ YOUR WORDS, I AM TRYING TO DO AS YOU HAVE WRITTEN. BUT, I MUST ASK YOU A DEEP QUESTION, CAN ANYONE HELP ME?

I LOST MY JOB LAST YEAR AND DECIDED TO WRITE/PUBLISH THE BOOK CALLED, "My Miracle by Rodney Barnes" because I had to tell the world about living through a TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY/SURGERY, COMA, AND EVENTUALLY RELEARNING EVERYTHING OVER AGAIN AT 21.

I HAVE TO ASK YOU, PLEASE HELP ME OUT BY PURCHASING A BOOK... I HAVE NOT FOUND A FULL-TIME JOB YET.... PLEASE VISIT http://SharingMiracles.net, read the thesis, purchase a copy, BUT ALSO JOIN IN OR SHARE YOUR OWN LIFE EXPERIENCES OR MIRACLES.

I AM ASKING MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS ON GATHER TO HELP ME IN A TIME OF NEED. IN RETURN, I WANT TO HELP OTHERS WHO ARE IN NEED. I WANT TO BE THE MAN WHO STEPS OUT TO THIS WORLD AND GIVE A HELPING HAND. So, you joining in by purchasing a book or visiting http://SharingMiraclesToSave.net will allow me to give back to a person who really needs your help.

Thank you and God bless,
Rodney

Hi Harper S,

Thank you for what you said to me! You are SO right about TBI's. They are emotional, mental, and can physically take you to the end of the road... That is why the person experiencing this HAS to be strong, but also family and friends HAVE to be strong for the support of this loved one... Take care, Harper S.

My life will never be the same. This TBI has changed me into a man with a reason and purpose to succeed and share my story to help others. I very much love life and am very happy to be able to type this on the computer to tell you this...

Be very happy and thankful to be alive! Life is priceless.
