So in the past couple blogs I mention that reading the articles by Dr. Fettke and going to the alliance for independence made me think of a story in John chapter 9 when Jesus healed a blind man from birth. I figured I would tell this time. “As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. 2 His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” “Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him. 4 As long as it is day, we must do the works of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work. 5 While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” The key part of that scripture is in verse 3. So that Gods work might be shown in him. In Dr. Fettke's article, he talks about how he asks questions to God about why his son is mentally disabled. there is a reason for everything and the very reason may be so that Gods work is lifted up and God gets more glory. In the second page, he talks about creations and asks different questions pertaining to what “normal” is. Dr. fettke talks about a life force that most people have. The ability to think straight and be creative. One of the quotes he said stick out to me “Is it possible that Gods spirit is still operative even in those we most often considered as having little ‘life force’?” I heard a story about a mentally disabled kid one time. his name was Gabriel and his parents were having a hard time accepting that their kid was disabled. One of the things that Gabriel had trouble with was writing his name. when he started to be able to write it, he could only write the first three letters. And he would actually spell out the word GOD. Which answers dr. fettke’s question about the spirit being among the disabled.
Wow...the story about Gabriel was so mysterious yet so neat...Thanks for sharing. =~)
