Blind Text

So I have had a few texts come through on my phone lately and this wrong number is looking for Brandon but keeps getting me.  So at first I thought maybe it was a guy giving out the wrong number to avoid a call  but have now come to realize this is just a mis-dial..  The first text I received was in regards to these two hooking up for a computer class.  My texter was trying to see if "Brandon" still needed some training.  So I advised I wasn't Brandon and that I hoped he taught computers better than he dialed numbers.  Funny I thought but I guess it could be deemed rude and insensitive.  

So today I get another text that is followed up by yet another saying "oh wait,  I've text you before on accident!  Wrong number again.  What's up stranger!"   However it was his first "wrong" text that peaked my interest.  It said "Brandon!  I'm starting a blog and I can't decide if I should call it 'Dude with a cane' or 'blindsight' what do you think?

It hits me, my wrong texter is blind.   Does make mis-dialing a lot more understandable and certainly extremely forgivable.  But it's how quickly he does text me back that I realize there is an entire group of people just like 'Dude with a Cane' that I never even "blink and eye at", pun totally intended, and how amazed I am I never really think about it.  There was a time that the blind, the deaf, the meek and disfigured were totally cast out of our society.  And in certain cultures and other countries they still are.

Yet here I find myself texting some guy that functions better in life on some levels than I do.  He obviously is good with computers or he and Brandon would not be hooking up for lessons and he can text faster than I can and not make a mistake (well other than dialing my number in the first place, but you get the picture).

So Blind Texter  thank you.  Thank you for helping me realize I am unaware of the blind, the deaf, the meek and the disfigured because I live in an amazing country (Obama stop messing it up!) and a time that treats all the same.    I don't mean to trivialize what one with these disabilities has to over come but to be in awe of how at the end of the day we are the same and that's God's creation.  Perfect in His eyes.
