[Faith-talk] blindness as a gift

[debby phillips]

Actually, I think that sometimes being blind makes us vulnerable 
in bad situations.  I think that we have to trust the leading of 
God in these situations, and sometimes we have to walk away when 
things are bad.  I've had to do that in cities where I've lived, 
just tell my dog to keep going.  I feel more vulnerable with just 
my cane, on that score.  That has nothing to do with good cane 
skills, etc.  I just feel more vulnerable with a cane, as a blind 
woman who isn't as young as she used to be.  My reflexes aren't 
as good as they were when I was in my 30's.  I'll actually be 
glad to be teamed with a dog again.    Blessings,    Debby
