[Faith-talk] prayers needed for big decisions

[Beth Taurasi]

It would be nice to have KNFB Reader Mobile on my phone, but the camera 
resolution is not enough and does not include flash. I'm already working 
with Catholic Charities so they can get friends of Man to buy me a 
better option. The long run case is clear: I need to be able to read 
papers. But if I can't, that's noncompliance. Any handwritten documents 
are out of reach, period.
