“I C U!”–Love, God

Lately the Lord has been showing me a particular facet of Disability that ALL of us dealing with it are all too familiar with:  feeling invisible.   There’s a video on YouTube called The Freezing Homeless Child! (Social Experiment): http://goo.gl/NwGjju What a powerful video about how we choose to ignore really glaring issues in our daily lives—this one […]

Embracing My Thorn

In his book The Power of the Blood author Bob Sorge says that the enemy has only three tricks: discouragement, distraction and temptation.[i] However this week our Awesome Lord worked all three together for His Glory by personally showing me the power of Embracing My Thorn of Disability. OK Christians—let’s talk about the “H” word. […]

Lo & Behold

Church should be the most disability-friendly place on earth, right?  Well—not so much.  Though 20% of us are dealing with disability according to the US Census, only about 10% of churches nationwide have any sort of Disability Ministry outreach according to Joni and Friends.  As the former Church Relations Coordinator for Joni and Friends/DFW, I […]

Happy Isaiah 43:18-19!

As yet another year draws to a close, I share with you my Life Verse: “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland. — […]

No Room For Rest

Here’s my stunning revelation for the week: for the countless people affected by Disability worldwide we all share one profound yet simple spiritual similarity—we may all be just one accessible restroom away from Salvation. Now hear me out—this week I ran into Calvin Rutherford (now that’s a Presidential name) whom Beloved and I met years […]

Lost (and Found) in Grace

Hey all you Baby Boomers out there! Remember the TV show Lost in Space? It featured the Robinson Family and evil stowaway Dr. Smith for whom things went really, really wrong on their maiden voyage, rendering them unable to return to Planet Earth. In fact the 1998 sequel Lost in Space Forever inspired this comparison […]

Don’t Buy The Lie

Tragically, earlier this month Robin Williams chose to end his life.  However large the Gift of Laughter he gave us (and it was huge) I believe he gave us an even greater gift—the chance to start a SERIOUS discussion about Depression & Suicide. BECAUSE WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT IT! As Christians we need to […]

Are You A Stumbling Block? Or a Starting Block?

Today I speak to the Repairers & Restorers out there—(and you know who you are) selfless Souls without whom the very wheels of Disability Ministry would slam to a screeching halt. So let me ask you:  Are You A Stumbling Block?  Or a Starting Block? Jesus spoke of stumbling blocks in Matthew 18:6-7 NASU 6 […]

Fearfully & Wonderfully Made

Greetings & Blessings Faithful Followers of MissionAccess!  Any poets out there?  OK before you tune out allow me to gently remind you that Poetry Fanatic or not, you are God’s poetry—His Poema.  His Divine Creation. Speaking of creations divine (and others not so much)…The fanciful fruits of my 2014 Polar Vortex Office Purge just keep […]
