[Faith-talk] The proper introduction to blindness.

[Debby Phillips]

CCB is the Colorado Center for the Blind.  It is an awesome place.  It is an NFB Center, and I went there for some much-needed training.  Probably the most important thing I got though was my sense of confidence and independence back.  It's a long story and I won't bore you with all the details, but moving to a new area can be um, interesting to say the least.  My husband and I just purchased a house and are in the process of moving.  We will be in a totally new neighborhood,  and hoping that we will find a church or Bible study nearby, that perhaps I can walk to, so that getting a ride will not be that hard.  But I'm a little afraid of the whole curch thing having been burned.  But I think we have to keep hope alive.    Blessings,    Debby

>> Hey Jenny, I just graduated from CCB in August.  Of course I was taught that we should do what we can do to do things ourselves but that there was nothing wrong with asking, asking as many questions as you need to to get where you're going, especially in an unfamiliar environment.  So very soon, that's what I'll be doing, asking, asking, asking.  My husband and I just purchased a home in a neighborhood that I am totally unfamiliar with, except that there are sidewalks on our street, and the ones around have sidewalks too, and there is a bus close by.  Lol.  That's not a lot.    Blessings,    Debby
