My Heart Hurts
The reality of my daughter's disability hit home at the IEP meeting a few days ago. I know, she brings many blessings and I should look at all of the positive aspects of the situation.

I often wonder what it will be like if someday I face dementia or Alzheimer's disease. Perhaps my future will be like a house of mirrors; with all the voices playing tricks on me. Regardless, I am confident I will be able to hear my Father's voice.

Task Survey / Gift Survey
One of the sessions at the Disability Concerns Conference I went to talked about a different kind of gift survey they did in their church, where they matched people up with a specific task and what the member offered to do. I was wondering if I could have that list of tasks so I can help develop one for our church.
