Lessons I’ve learned from “The man with half a brain.”

My brother Doug was a normal teenage boy until at age 17 he was stricken with encephalitis. Thirty days and two brain operations later he  had forty five percent of his right brain removed. He went home to be with the Lord July 18th, 2019 at age 65. About 7 years prior to his passing a brain scan was performed on Doug and the doctors discovered he had about sixty percent function in his left brain, so we are talking about a man that was literally operating with about a half a brain. The following stories will fill in the span from 17 to 65 but the thing that amazes me to this day is the fact that God continually used this man with half a brain to remind me of things that I should not need to be reminded of and even taught me truths from God’s Word that has helped me in my personal walk with the Lord. It is my hope  that as you read these stories you will be reminded that the mind of Christ is alive and well whether we have a fully functioning brain or not.
