Another Week Gone By

I don't have anything particularly profound to say on my own. What made me pause and think today was one of the latest posts by The Resurgence (it was also copied in Route 5:9).

I am passing it along, hoping it makes you think like it made me think. It was only yesterday that I got very upset at someone for rebuking me (rather graciously, I might mention). This made me remember how truly wrong I was and how undeserving of God's grace I truly am:

This is "the weak's end".

Disabled...

I was reading some blog posts and started following links (always educational) and ran across this blog about the current consequences of prenatal testing for disabilities, specifically Down Syndrome. If you haven't read it, I would recommend it.

That's not the blog I'm pondering about right now... I then found this entry which sparked a piercing conviction. It's discussing why Jesus did so many physical healings and yet never affirmed anyone as being in a perfect condition. I have to admit that I have had the exact same questions as mentioned in the post and found it a VERY beneficial read.

This got me to thinking about a lot of things, but primarily about these statements:

" Everyone, except the Son of God, was and is marked by sin. And that is infinitely worse than any disability."

"Sin is ALWAYS much worse than disability."

I have to honestly say that I rarely live as though it's worse to be a sinner without Christ than be a quadrapalegic . I most certainly never live as though it's far better to be a Down Syndrome adult with Jesus than a brilliant scholar/ exec/ strong woman without the grace of God.
