I have worked for many years with the hearing impaired and on a visit to the library, I happened to notice a man and a woman, both deaf, signing with intense gestures, apparently in a heated debate.

The man said something, and the woman seemed upset. She started signing her reply very fast, to the point where the man couldn't understand a word. That was when she started signing in big, wide gestures.

Finally, looking strained, her companion took her hands, "silencing" her.

Then he signed, very small and slowly, "You don't have to shout, I'm not blind."

"I hate when people refer to faith in Jesus as a crutch. Nope! A crutch is for a limp.
I was dead and needed a resurrection."

My seven-year-old son, Nick, received a snap-together electronic kit for his birthday. He learned that if you put a resistor in line with the speaker, it lowers the volume from the speaker.

During the six-hour car trip home from my parents' house, Nick had had about enough of his three-month-old brother's constant crying in the car.

So he said, "I wish I had a resistor in my ear!"

"We need to care less about whether our children are academically gifted & more about whether they sit with the lonely kid in the cafeteria."
