Imagine being born without arms. No arms to wrap around someone, no hands to experience touch, or to hold another hand with. Or what about being born without legs? Having no ability to dance, walk, run, or even stand on two feet. Now put both of those scenarios together: no arms and no legs. What would you do? How would that effect your everyday life?

Awesome and very inspiring. Kleenex needed, too.
Thanks for posting here.
What would I do? Contract out as third base, but only in the Major Leagues...
WOW.
POWERFUL
Dude’s a good candidate for one of those DARPA Exoskeleton robotics thingy they are working on.
Powerful is right. Pretty much gives no one an excuse for throwing in the towel and letting life slip them by. It’s there for those who care to reach out for it....no matter if they think they “suck” or not....you go for it!
Not so sure, would be like sending Noah a cruise ship. It is said God never gives us a burden to heavy to carry. Carrying those burdens is what makes us strong. Would this man’s faith been as strong as it is now if he had not carried his ‘burnden’, I don’t know for sure, but I somehow doubt it. Seems to me those closest to the Lord, have always been those who have managed to carry the heaviest burdens.
Great thread, Kartographer! :)
I posted a thread about Nick last year, with a link to a radio interview (which is where I learned about Nick for the first time). You might enjoy listening to it:
