On the Today Show this morning a young man named Colin Johnson was a special guest. Kids have been invited to the Today Show for all different reasons: cooking, playing music, reading at age 2, but Colin was special for me. He was born 8 weeks pre-mature and suffered from brain hemorrhage. The outlook was not good at all. Eleven years later Colin is on a national news program playing the guitar.... and doing very well! His father was asked how he became talented in music. His response was to say his brain developed his special talents.
I believe in God and His plan, so for sure something awesome will come out of Braylon's brain damage. What??? I'm just waiting to see. Just like Colin, B is developing a strength we can never imagine and an attitude most of us wish for. Braylon may never play the guitar like Colin or even play football like Daddy, but he will find his passion that God has put into him. If that passion is developed from a damaged brain or healthy body, I don't know. He will however be great... just like the rest of my family.
Check out Colin's story and be impressed!

- Deon
- I am many things, the most important a believer. A believer in God and in myself.... only because I know HE works in me. I knew from a very young age that if ever put into a position where I needed to care for someone's "special needs", I would be able to not only step up to the plate but hit a homerun. That is my intentions.... to increase in faith.... to inspire others.... and to believe that "Yes We Can"!
