Friday and Saturday we are at Gordon-Conwell Seminary as part of a disability ministry conference -- and I'm excited to say, the seminary leadership is very interested in including outreach to people with disabilities in their future course offerings! About 200 people are attending the conference, one of whom is 33 year old Cathe Chermisino who was struck by a car at the age of 13 while waking to school. I've known Cathe for the 20 years she's been a vent-dependent quadriplegic -- in fact, I wrote a devotional about her on the November 19 page of my book Diamonds in the Dust. If you have a copy, look it up -- her story and her trust in Jesus is wonderfully inspiring!
