Disability
-
The Door in the Wall is an amazing little novel with a main character who is disabled that has all the elements I want in a book, both for my children and myself. It is rightful a Newberry winner.

I want to feel like I can handle life and all that is in it. I want to imagine myself flying, running, and walking through every battle and trial… except sometimes it is just too hard for me. I get weary, tired, faint.
-
I want to discuss where disability belongs in our churches, which is front a center of our theology and our ministry, not to receive sympathy, but as examples of Christ.
-
SO, if Isaac, Jacob, Moses, and Paul were disabled, and God refused to heal them, why does God heal anyone? Why not leave things as they are? This is an unusual question and backward from the usual question.
-
We, the church, are uncomfortable with disability and don’t really have an explanation for why God allows it to exist. My proposal was that God allows… even gives disability on purpose. So where in the Bible, other than Paul, I could possibly get such an idea?
-
As long there are people with disabilities, the issue of where they fit in the church will continue to exist. We need to fix it and stop ignoring it.
