Today, with so much evil and turmoil spinning around, it's neat to know this young man exists. Praise the Lord!

For what it's worth, the friend who emailed this letter to me is Deaf.

Two points to consider, which Kevin seems to get pretty good:
1. Don't sweat the small sh!t
2. Compared to eternity, ITS ALL SMALL SH!T
To: Saundra Duffy
Good post. I need to go home and clean out under my bed.

Compared to eternity, ITS ALL SMALL SH!T Ain't that the gospel truth, though?!

Thank you for posting this. Now would be a great time for all of us to "let go and let God"

I have a mentally handicapped 13 year old and I can appreciate this so much. Our son is a great responsibility for my wife and I but he is also such a great blessing. I can not imagine life with out him.
To: Saundra Duffy
This is sweet and Kevin sounds like a sweetheart!
To: Saundra Duffy
God bless Kevin. We have a developmentally delayed son who is 20. He's our love - all hugs and smiles and excitement over little things. His life is simple but, for him, rich with happiness. He loves travelling, tv, walking in the woods with us. He'll never know he's different. He will never break any of the 10 commandments. We feel he is God's child and when he dies, he'll go right to the front of the lineup for heaven, along with all the other "special" children in our world.

"Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it." (Mark 10:15)
For the rest of us, thank God for grace and forgiveness....

Nice story ... brings to mind two mentally handicapped people I once knew who worked for a book publisher in NYC. The book publisher was a customer of my firm (transportation) that I visited fairly regularly for several years. Each visit I would see the two of them delivering mail, or doing other odd jobs, what impressed me was their up beat spirit and the fact they sincerely enjoyed their work.

This reminds me of a mentally disabled fellow that lived next to us when I was young. His name was Mike. Mike was a big guy and was always smiling. One thing about Mike, if you asked him a question he never said "uh" or "huh" or ever pondered it. He immediately answered it. Now the answer may be "I dunno" but he never missed a beat.
I remember one day I was next to the wooden fence between our back yards. I heard Mike talking. Being curious, I found a knot hole in the fence and looked. There was Mike, sitting cross-legged on that hard pebble stuff next to their swimming pool. Their back yard was full of trees and up and down these trees there were squirrels running. And there were 7 or 8 squirrels on Mike! The would run up to him and jump on his legs. A couple were running up his arm and standing on his shoulder. Mike was feeding them unshelled pecans. And he had one of the squirrels that would run up to him when he put his hand flat on the ground, palm up. Then he would pick up the squirrel, hold it up to his face, and it was eating pecans out of his mouth. Seemed so natural to me at that age, I never thought much of it. He did similiar things with birds.

Excellent, excellent, excellent.....

Oh, dear, there went the floodgates...
My brother was stricken with Prader-Willi, he was very much like Kevin...
On New Year's Day, 2001, at age 40, David went to dwell with the Lord. I visited him in the hospital the weekend before, and he told me not to worry, it was time for him to go home, that 'God has prepared a House for me.'
That last hour of his life, as we prayed, he was very peaceful...and I knew in my heart that a purer soul could not be found.
