Don't Worry, Read Happy: Alan Jacobs on The Pleasures of Reading | Christianity Today | A Magazine of Evangelical Conviction
At the end of 2011 this was just one of several articles I read to help me form resolutions for the new year. Strange how, when thinking of growing old, the one thing I dreaded was the loss of my eyesight and the inability to read. Little did I know that instead I would lose the use of my hands. I can read but I can neither hold a book or turn the pages.
This could lead to major frustration but thanks be to God for the computer and programs like Dragon and Darcy that enable me to control it.
Update on my health: I am feeling much more alert thanks to your prayers. However, my skin is breaking down and it is a real battle to get it back into shape. I do not feel discomfort and cannot relieve the pressure by shifting position.
