When Penny was young, I was wrestling with questions like, “What does it mean to be human?”
And a friend of mine said, “You know, brokenness and limitations are not the same thing.”
That was really helpful for me because I think I had put them in the same category in my mind without knowing it. So I was seeing disability as brokenness, which I knew wasn’t right, but I couldn’t figure out why it felt so tangled in my mind.
Adding some distinction between brokenness and limitations was really helpful for me.
For more on this distinction, listen in to my conversation with Micah Boyett.
