MY THOUSAND POUND GORILLA

A raging dysfunctional family life, bad personal decisions, and a car wreck that almost killed him, Rod's life was a struggle to carry the "gorilla on his back." Like many of us, his life was two steps forward and one step back. But God.......
Walked with him through healing from the trauma of his childhood,
Gave him the courage to move forward after losing his legs and suffering a traumatic brain injury,
Gave him the determination to overcome every obstacle he met in life with fierceness,
Taught him the power of a heartfelt belly laugh over anger and frustration,
Taught him that he is never alone and that he is loved in spite of his mistakes,
And challenged him to share his story with you, knowing that you also hurt, are afraid and don't know how to overcome life's challenges and obstacles.
