Deafness Project

Today, I experienced a very (VERY) small portion of a deaf person's life. I pretended to be deaf for a couple of hours. Never in my life have I felt so helpless; I was cut off from most of the world. Most of the people I encountered didn't know what to do with me. Some were polite, some were rude, and some were very kind. But, at the end I realized I have much to be thankful for... I can communicate very easily. God has given me a great blessing; one that I often forget. Spending hours not speaking and pretending to be deaf can have a very eye opening effect.
