"IN REALITY THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A NON-HANDICAPPED LIFE.....TRUE HEALTH IS THE STRENGTH TO LIVE, THE STRENGTH TO SUFFER, AND THE STRENGTH TO DIE. HEALTH IS NOT A CONDITION OF MY BODY; IT IS THE POWER OF MY SOUL TO COPE WITH THE VARYING CONDITION OF THAT BODY." THESE THOUGHTS COME FROM PHILIP YANCEY'S BOOK, "WHERE IS GOD WHEN IT HURTS?". IN A SENSE THIS TOUGHT CHALLENGES CONVENTIONAL WISDOM. IT PRODS US TO THINK OF LIFE IN OUR BODIES IN A DIFFERENT WAY. IT CALLS US TO EMBRACE THE "HANDICAPPED" PERSON AS BEING ONE OF US.
