    Contributed by David Swanger on Mar 6, 2013
     | 7,086 views

    To make a difference, one must be different. Such is a real possibility as we become salt and light before a decaying and dark world.

     | 5,720 views

    This talk was from early December 2012 as feedback from my Sabbatical. The question in my mind was, "How do we run the race when we can’t run?" I spent time talking to and reading books by people with various impairments. This is some of what I learned.

I’ve only met some of you recently and so that seems to be the best way to proceed. When I visited Kenya recently I said, “I have 1 wife and 3 ...read more
