Jonny the Bagger
Speaking of R being the new n-word - but sadly one which liberals feel no compunction about throwing around - one thing I've learned from having sons with Down syndrome (1 by birth, 3 adopted) is that the world has it wrong in the way we measure the worth of a person.
One thing I've learned since my son Jonny was born 16 years ago is that we all have disabilities. Those whose view is too narrow to see the gifts in every human being have the greatest disability of all - and they are deserving of compassion and prayer too.

I discovered, quite quickly, that something was wrong with the way I viewed the world after my son with Down syndrome was born. He has shown me that each of us is not perfect, despite having the proper number of chromosomes. I look at his pure little heart and compare it to some of the most powerful people in our country and I can see that my son is far more perfect than they are because he LOVES!
I love this story of Johnny. I tear up every time I watch it. thanks for posting it! Julie
