[Faith-talk] blindness mad at god or not

[Ericka]

Hey Andrew, I really like how you answer the guy. It's not a disability. I go so far actually has to say it's a gift from God and not even an impairment. I know you're in Canada, and I can't remember the exact website address, but if you put Wisconsin Council of the blind in a Google search box, you should come up with the right place. We just posted blogs about the gift of disability. There are lots of other things written on there by blind people that you and your mentor might be able to laugh, learn from, and chat about.  This is a blog written by people of varying degrees of blindness and varying life experiences who don't necessarily ascribe to one organization of the blind or another. Even our editor if you want to call her, Annika, is visually impaired and working on her masters degree in English. She teaches the freshman English classes at University of Wisconsin – Madison.
