One thing I have learned is that often I give people too much information at one time, and people are overwhelmed.

Hi folks

I'm figuring that some of you wise folks have been through either losing your drivers license or supporting someone through the loss.

I recognize that there are likely significant differences in access to resources and also impact depending on where one lives and your living arrangements.

I wonder if you can help me gather some of the possibilities..ie, side benefits.

 Do you think having a Developmental or Neurological Disability or a Mental Illness Makes You a bad person? Are stroke survivors, people living with Autism, FAS, MS, head injuries, and other neurological differences, less than human?

Is it Ok to call people "retards", "crazy" "mentally ill" "stupid" "a moron"  and so on when you disagree with them. 

I am thinking of Ryan tonight, the anniversary of his last night. He was a hero to me. From the moment he was refused admittance to school, he has been an inspiration to me.

I am also thinking of his family.

I am also remembering all the people I have been privileged to be with on their last night.  I am still grieving. 

In another thread 

 The Selfish Giant   This children story by Oscar Wilde is wonderful for many reasons. Those who grew up in the seventies and watch TV will remember it was played every Christmas. It the story of a Giant who learns the value of community. he is redeemed when he helps a child, smaller then all the others, and unable to climb a tree. He later discovers that the child was the risen Christ.

As I am building Accessiblechurch.ca. I am trying to do so using tools that make the ideas and content accessible to as many different people as possible.

Accessiblechurch.ca is not intended to be a complete resource on making your church accessible. I am trying also to demonstrate that there are existing free resources on the Internet that congregations  can use to improve accessibility.

I am asking for people who know the Old and New Testaments to help me.

I have a web site www.accessiblechurch.ca that is about helping your Church become accessible, by bringing down barriers to church and inside churches.

The number one key words that  bring people to my site from search engines are bible verses, diversity, disability and inclusion.
