> ======================
> 
> She had been listening online for months but Sunday there she
> was, sitting on the front row. That's not anything particularly
> unusual that a person who listens online or reads MountainWings
> attends a live service. Mr. Peterson from Denmark showed up
> last Sunday and said he'd been reading MountainWings for years
> and wanted to visit.
> 
> So it wasn't particularly unusual for an online partaker to
> attend. What was unusual was that she was blind.
> 
> When she came up to me after church I mentioned to her that our
> monthly God Heals service at GodHeals.net was taking place that
> night. She said the she was born blind and that she believed
> God made her that way. Below is the letter that she sent.
> 
> Read it and perhaps it will open your eyes.

> Good morning Pastor Bronner,
> 
> First of all I would like to say that I truly enjoyed the
> service on Sunday, and would love to be a member of The Ark.
> 
> As I mentioned, I have been listening to sermons from
> AirJesus.com for quite a while now and God has been pulling me
> toward your church.
> 
> I have no idea what I am supposed to do, only that I am
> supposed to be there; so, here I am.
> 
> One thing I would like to say is, I apologize to you if I
> sounded abrupt when you mentioned the healing ceremony. That
> was not my intent. I believe that each and every one of us has
> a divine purpose in life. My blindness was no accident. When I
> think of my blindness, to me it is a mere nuisance and it is a
> characteristic of my being.
> 
> There are people who are short, tall, fat, skinny, blond,
> brunette and so on. Those are characteristics of the person.
> 
> I can't change that and neither can they.
> 
> I would like to do a sensitivity awareness workshop at your
> church to enlighten people and to let them know that it is okay
> to be blind.
> 
> Oftentimes what you may want for me, (and I'm not speaking of
> you alone), God may not.
> 
> True, there was healing in the Bible and I believe that.
> However, I have become content in the state that I am in and I
> do well.
> 
> I own my own home, I work, and I am married. Those are
> achievements that everyone, whether they have a disability or
> not, should strive toward.
> 
> Thank you for giving me the opportunity to talk with you, and I
> look forward to the opportunity to serve at The Ark of Salvation.
