David Michael stood to tell the congregation about Paul’s impact on Bethlehem and listed several things that have happened because Paul was born with no eyes. He forgot to mention one equally vital person – himself. God planted Pastor David in the middle of every activity related to the disability ministry from the beginning. Without [...]

God kindly answers prayers

At the end of my talk on Wednesday I asked for prayer for three things: 1. For Bethlehem, that we would recognize all people have gifts and we would welcome all. 2. That God would bring more helpers for our disability ministry – from sign language interpreters to classroom 1-1 aides to the host of [...]
Paul is not impressed!

Paul came up frequently during my talk on Wednesday evening. Pastor David Michael also had some nice things to say about how God has used Paul at Bethlehem. As you can see, Paul was not impressed. At least we know he isn’t tempted to pride when people talk about him! It’s nice that he’s so [...]

The third printing of Just the Way I Am, God’s Good Design in Disability is once again available! You can get it through Desiring God or Amazon.

From pity to joy

I spent a great few hours with Justin Reimer, executive director of The Elisha Foundation, this past weekend. God is doing some amazing work through that ministry for families experiencing disability. He and I see a common happy consequence of disability ministry – people who get involved frequently feel blessed at the relationships they develop [...]
Someday, the earth will be filled with something entirely different

Today is a sad anniversary. For 39 years we’ve lived with the consequences of the Supreme Court’s decision on Roe v. Wade. But it won’t last. Woe to him who builds a town with blood and founds a city on iniquity! Behold, is it not from the LORD of hosts that peoples labor merely for [...]
Going to see some radicals

Lord willing, I’m either in transit or actually in Oregon when you read this. I’m going to see some crazy people – most people do not know what to do with radicals like these! They don’t look like radicals, do they? God has made Craig and Susan (on the left) into pretty amazing people. Their [...]
Shameful history. Joy-filled eternity!

For my most recent blog post at Desiring God I spent time reviewing some of the shameful history of the church in the eugenics and abortion movements. Similar to the church’s history with slavery, Dianne had to listen to me wonder how the religious proponents of eugenics at the turn of the 20th century and [...]
Please pray for the families gathering in Oregon

Pastor John just spoke to 45,000 young people in Atlanta this week. Greg Lucas will be leading 12 families through Mark 9 the next couple of days at The Elisha Foundation’s winter retreat for families experiencing disability. I’m so glad Jesus showed us it is important to reach big crowds and small! When he went [...]

Someday, justice will reign for all the babies
Posted in commentary, News on January 16, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
It seems right on this national Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday to recognize that someday little black babies and little brown babies and little babies with disabilities of all colors will no longer be subject to the horror of abortion. It is a focused horror. I’ve covered the issue of abortion and babies with disabilities [...]
