Gary Thomas posted a reflection on being the father of a girl with Learning Disabilities in “New Man,” a Christian magazine. It begins with a story about the daughter’s increasing frustration with her difficulties learning. Here’s a clipping:
As her friends began reading, however, Allison grew more and more uncomfortable with her own level of learning. Sometimes she would shout in frustration, “Why is it hard for me to learn and so easy for everybody else?”
He describes his own frustration and sadness about his daughter’s difficulties. Given the publication, of course, Thomas ultimately turns the story to his relationship with his God.
