All God's Children
If you've never been in a room full of kids with disabilities, you haven't lived!That wish may not be at the top your bucket list but, trust me if you ever get the chance it will tip your whole bucket upside down. Add music, worship or performance to that room and you approach an other-worldly experience that quickly becomes spiritual.There is nothing quite so humbling or profound as watching people express themselves creatively without inhibition. I have had this experience a handful of times: at a Music Therapy Center recital, at Beyond Limits adult Sunday school class, and at the Young Life Capernaum Club Talent Show last June. Take a peek at what our friend Sean Horton captured on film.Capernaum Talent Show from Sean Horton on Vimeo.
My experience must only begin to approach God's delight at watching us, his children--all of us differently-abled--using the gifts He gave us freely without comparison or ego or pride to adulterate them. It's pure and true to a liberating extent."Looks aren't everything. Don't be impressed with his looks and stature. God judges persons differently than humans do. Men and women look at the face; God looks into the heart." 1 Samuel 16:6-8“To one he gave five bags of gold, to another two bags, and to another one bag, each according to his ability. Then he went on his journey." Matthew 25:14-15

- About Me: I consider motherhood a profession. My husband and I adopted boy-girl twins at birth which gave me full-time employment and job security. I homeschooled them for 5 years which elicited admiration, shock and pity from the neighbors mostly because by then my son had an autism diagnosis and some obvious behavior challenges. I learned enough to wonder if there is a PhD equivalency test I could take. My theme song was "What I Did for Love!" In theory, an omnipotent God is my power source. In reality, I have unplugged from Him for gaps of time and suffered for the power loss. Autism Unplugged is my attempt to give voice to the spiritual lessons I'm learning because God has allowed autism to define our journey. Have Book Will Travel is a diversion from the emotional intensity of the other blog. I am a wannabe librarian. I love books. I love to read them in situ, reenact them, and rely on them as a springboard for experiencing the world. When we travel, preparation, repetition and visuals are
