Where His Feet Pass

We sang the hymn" Morning has Broken" yesterday during church. The phrase "Sprung in completeness Where God's feet pass" jumped off the page. I work for a public school. I believe in a God who desires relationship with his creation, but I cannot speak those words. I work with children whose lives have been so awful, that only a savior who has suffered the ultimate pain and rejection can relate to them and understand their anger,and lead them to the forgiveness that will make them whole.

I will let my feet walk through their lives, and follow God's spirit showing consistent patience and love, and pray that completeness will spring from our passing.

Nobody Nowhere

"Nobody Nowhere"

I just finished this book by Donna Williams. It is a good easy read written by Donna who is autistic. She chronicles her life through her eyes. It really helps to understand the many coping mechanisms that autistic children find. It brings home the fact that autistic children are not incapable of emotion, it is just so painful to them that they find ways to block it. It also struck me how painful the teasing and bullying was, even with all the coping techniques. There is one child in our class that has not been diagnosed as such, however has many of the same techniques. It has been an eye-opener.
