[Faith-talk] {Spam?} "AUTHOR AND SPEAKER J.I. PACKER IS GOING BLIND"

[Kendra Schafer]

Hi all! 
I'm blind and I can read and write just fine. I also don't believe in lost soles. I do know that he needs help. I have resources that can help him out. 
The National Federation of the Blind 
Www.NFB.org 
His local library for the blind, his local vocational rehabilitation. 
Also, simply searching for information and resources on blindness will help too. Good luck!!! 


I hope you have a good day! 
Blessed be!!! 
Kendra  
Here is a  little about myself. 
I am a graduate of both  the Oregon School for the Blind and Oregon City High School. I am a blind Pagan. I have work experience in gardening. I also am a crafter and painter.  I like to read, write and do anything on an iPhone.  
I am a die hard fan of the following: 
J. k. Rowling's Harry Potter Books, 
 J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle Earth books, 
C. S. Lewis's  Kronicals of Narnia books, 
L. Frank Baum's  Oz books,  
Pittsburgh, Penguins,  
 Detroit, Red Wings,  
Baltimore, Ravens,  
 Seattle, Sea Hawks,  
 Oregon State Beavers,  
 Portland, Winter Hawks, 
And anything to do with bald eagles.

The best roads are some where out there. 
My job is to discover them. 
Blindness has often tested me. 
Love allows me to fly higher than I have ever flown before. 
Love has also shown me that I can see the long awaited  stars. 
Salem, Oregon showed me the way home. 
Baltimore, Maryland showed me the way to the stars. 
Seattle, Washington showed me that I still can fly like I have always flown. 
Paganism set me free and also showed me the magic all around me. 
As I move through life, I notice the many ways where my beliefs not only ring true, but also proven to be true by others. 
I am soaring like a bald eagle as I set out to live the life I want. 
I believe that everything is interconnected and full of magic. 
I am happily living with my wonderful boyfriend in Salem, Oregon. 
Blessed be!!!

I hope there are some here who might be willing to explain to this poor fellow that his writing and speaking career is only over if he let's it be over. Can't write because he's blind? Can't read because he's blind? Bah humbug to that silliness. If he can no longer read or write, "because he's blind," the simple truth is - it'll only be because he's given up. So what if he's 89 years old? Sheesh. The only thing that will stop him from living a fulfilling life is if he chooses not to. Anyway, his story and possible contact links are below, if anyone here is interested in helping educate this poor soul.

Over Christmas, the 89-year-old evangelical theologian's right eye began suffering the same. This marks "the end of a remarkable writing and speaking ministry," writes Crossway's Justin Taylor in announcing the news. "He is unable to read, and therefore he will be unable to travel and speak. Because so much of his writing involves initial working with a ballpoint pen and blank paper, he is also unable to write." Read more from Christianity Today:
