[Blindtlk] Getting Lost

[Mark Tardif]

I think if anything we need to either pay that person who says you don't 
have enough faith no mind or even feel sorry for that person for being so 
incredibly, well, I hate to say this, but stupid.

I've had a few people pray for me and healing from my blindness. I am
a Christian and believe that God has plans for me and meant for me to
be blind, so I will do what He asks me to do without my sight. I tell
people this and they keep going back to the story of the blind man in
the Bible. I tell them that that was one man and that God's plan may
not be for me to see, and it may be. We will never know until it
happens. What really gets me is the people who say that the reason I'm
blind is because I'm not faithful enough or that I did something
wrong. Really?
