Good on you to search the difference between truth and falsehood. Amazing insights you are discovering on this journey P. God continue to give you wisdom!❤️
There are always more questions than answers, moreso at certain points in life like the one you are at now. And, I'm sorry, but the comment about your husband's fear opening him up to the demonic just makes me mad.
Thank you for your kindness, Linda. The person who said that was operating from their own place of searching for answers. We just have to be careful of the sources we turn to, don't we?
I always leave your posts with something to ponder, or having a new author to investigate. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and epiphanies, which are always a rich blessing, Patty.
“Culturally we place inordinate social value on intellect, reason, quickness of thought, and academic ability . . . Certain strands of theological thinking can be sucked into this hypercognitive trap when defining emphasis is placed on intellect and verbal ability, with the verbal proclamation of the name of Jesus assumed as a central and vital aspect of our salvation." This is such a helpful thing to consider. My husband Mike was a professor of English (as I still am) before dementia made it impossible for him to continue teaching, so the loss of language skills has hit both of us particularly hard. But this really helps me separate out the person God loves from the body being ravaged by disease--God loves Mike no less because he can't speak clearly. As always, that's a example for me to follow. Thank you for this. ❤️
Oh, Pam! I’m so glad that you’ve found some help in this. I did too in wrestling it onto “the page.” I think you might really appreciate John Swinton’s writings if you can get your hands on his books. His work came highly recommended to me from a source I trust.

Thank you, friend. It helps so much to have others to share the learning with. 💕

Thank you for saying so, sweet friend. John Swinton has done a lot of thinking and writing on disability theology. Time with him is time well spent. 💕
