The Disabled

-


 




     I have shoes on my feet that have the design of jigsaw puzzles all over them.  To me the thing I said

after I had bought them, (and they were delivered to me) is that they were autistic.  Brett (a caseworker)

at the first sight also said they had the Autism Spectrum on them.

       I have known people with autism, and even though they are in a world of their own they are still

able to do every day work.  The same goes with any other type of disability.  Just because a person has

 a disability, they are still a person.   Most of the time these people can still carry on a meaningful 

relationship as well as jobs.  Society's reaction to these people makes me shudder.

      These attitudes are not just in the world but in the church as well.  At one time they would 

institutionalize the disabled or put them in a freak show.  Today, however, they tell them they are 

normal hardly give them enough to live off of, then they go off and laugh.  This is how society make 

themselves feel comfortable about the handy capped today.

                                  Once upon a time in the Other Land lived a girl who did not believe in God, nor did she believe in the faith of the Church she went to.  She was just an active participant from the  fellowship she got from the congregation.  I might add that this kind of member pleased Satan.                                     The girl's name was Alice, and she went to services only for the pure enjoyment she  she could receive from it.  For Alice was out to please Alice and no one else.  This did not please God, but as I said earlier, did please Satan!    Satan had other workers in the Church who were there to please themselves as well.  God: however, was always hard at work sending His messengers to solve this  problem.      ...

               One morning Thunder wakes up, and tells Maxine that they are going to take a vacation back  to  his homelands in the Woods in Indiana.  Maxine just says, "that is fine dear, but, you should have  checked to see if I had a tea, or any diplomatic duties first."                Thunder just hoed and hummed as he got dressed.  He then told Maxine, "anything like that  could be rearranged.  Furthermore you will have tea at the Woods."                  As they were walking to breakfast Maxine rolled her eyes.  She then addressed Thunder in a loving fashion and said, "Well dear, I am glad you have it all thought out, but where ever will we stay? You do have the twins to recall, or were they just staying here at the White House.                Thunder and his family by this time ...

In The End

                                              Charles went to a funeral in present time.  He saw there a whole cast of  characters he had not seen in a long time.  He wondered if the church psychologist would be there, and she was not.  Instead, his friend, daffy, old, retired, psychologist, Doctor Donald Dawk was  there.  Doctor Dawk talked briefly to Charles.                                   The funeral, of course, was for the relatives of the Westend's.  Old Mr. West- end had passed away peacefully in his sleep at 101 years of age.  He left behind many survivors, which included a wife named Betty.   Mister Westend had served in Germany in World War II.  The family of course was given military honors.   ...
