I know I haven't posted on here in ages, but I felt I had to resuscitate this old blog just to post a link to this article, by Kelby Carlson, on the theology of disability. It had a profound impact on me...these are issues that are near-constantly on my mind even though I'm not a theologian and can't articulate my thoughts very well. This article is both articulate and does an excellent job at steering between some extremes that many people go to when discussing disability and the Christian life.
Here's a quote from the closing paragraph:
"Living with a disability, offering my body as a living sacrifice (Rom. 12:1) is my ultimate goal. It is a constant journey, guided by the Holy Spirit into continuous reliance upon the strength of God in my weakness. I pray that this essay would be one more step in articulating a path in which those with disabilities and those who know them can seek the narrow path walked by our master, Jesus."
