David Bond's Blog: Not By Sight - Posts Tagged "introduction"

I'm a walking marvel, but not of the desirable type!

I'm 58, going on 158!

I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes (insulin dependent) in 1967 at the age of 11, lost my sight in 1988 (age 33) thanks to diabetes, was diagnosed with epilepscy during the 1990s, learned I had chronic kidney disease (again, thanks to diabetes), and finally, last year (2012), was diagnosed with life threatening cancer.

I've ben a Christian all my life, but it's been a bumpy road at times. You may be a Christian who had a similar experience. There were times in my 20s when I wanted nothing to do with God. Amazingly, God remained faithful, despite my unfaithfulness.

Enough about me and my "marvelous" life story!

I've tried blogging in the past and found it difficult to keep up with. I think I have a better platform, a more interesting point of view now, and if if possible, I want to use this opportunity to expand on ideas and events relative to the challenges in my life, along with some general discussion about books I'm reading (or quitting!).

Bottom line is, this newest venture will perhaps be a means for me to offer encouragement, while also making connections with people who want to know a little more about what makes me tick!
