Good stuff! I too have experienced this type of theological attitude! I don’t think most people have a clue that this is a fact. Maybe we can change that! Example, I had my name removed from a elders list because I was disabled! They thought it would be to much for me!
I am sorry Michele, I will pray for for your mom! It is sad in a society that is so rich, we allow people to live this way! The first church after Christ came use to share!
Sorry for the mistake Michele, I was just trying to give you support in your struggles. Most people ignore these posts and would rather talk about church order or other programs that are remotely related to the Gospel. I believe in living the Gospel by taking action one person at a time.
I am disabled too and suffer every day, so I depend totally on the Lords grace. It makes you want to help those who are suffering too.
Unfortunately, there is not a I am not a robot box! Also, a lot of people use tablets and phones which don't use a mouse. This trend will only increase in the future as the mouse is slowly disappearing. Thank You for your efforts.
I am so touched to hear your story, the Lord carries us during those times! Unfortunately the system you refer too exists here too depending on your financial state! I am facing many health issues and cannot receive all the care I need because of our system of insurance! You were Fortunate to have the care you needed and that makes me thankful!
As a disabled person, I too question expertise of advocates and those that throw their opinions out on a subject that they may think they are informed! Until you experience the affects of what a major disability, it’s hard to really understand what we go through! I am still thankful that they try but I pray they really listen to the disabled on the issues that affect them. Unfortunately, there are lay people and experts assuming they know what is best for us! I was guilty of that before becoming disabled. A lot of life has to be experienced to have a real understanding.

I don’t think this site leans toward any perspective but what the Bible calls us to do in my opinion!
