Luke 17 – The Grateful Samaritan
In today’s world, people with disabilities are largely ‘othered’, and there’s movement of self-advocacy afoot among them. There’s no telling what can happen when people unite across differences.
A poem – Beloved
In every season, in every storm In moments of questions In moments of fear In moments when everything seems so unclear Be still and know that you are loved
Jesus: Teacher for Everybody (guest post)
I am confident that God has called me to what many people refer to as “special” education. Really, it is just education for all.
What a wonderful world (Guest Post)
Jesus came to introduce a new way to live. He invited us to demonstrate his way by practicing it in our own lives... Jesus’ way is more concerned with giving than receiving, humility than fame, and weakness than strength. He tells us that his provision and strength are enough for all of us. It was revolutionary at the first Christmas and it is still revolutionary today. Jesus tells us we’re all equal and introduces a way of life that stands in sharp contrast to the world around us. And frankly, I like it.

Word, Thought, Prayer: True sight
One of the remarkable qualities about Jesus is that he truly sees the man or woman in need that he encounters. So often we pass by without seeing. To see in this way is not dependent on physical sight. It is to be known, to be respected, to be loved. May we, too, see those around us.
