What is great here is who thought it up. The Open Hands Initiative flew a group of disabled American youth [...]

I updated my about page. I now thank God for my wonderful wife and four beautiful children. Noah Dustin was born on September 8th. I hope in the coming weeks to write some posts about the prophet he is named after and about his name’s meaning (rest). For now, enjoy this picture:

Bittersweet: A Muslim’s Spiritual Perspective on Special Needs Parenting
Posted in Life, Muslims on July 29, 2010 | 4 Comments »
This is a beautiful post that shows the love of a mother for her special needs son. Other than the Arabic words peppered throughout the article Christians will immediately feel that this mother is like any mother of a special needs child. She knows that life is harder. And she knows that it can be [...]

What We Would Have Missed
Posted in Life on April 27, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Too often we focus on what separates us from other people. Muslims believe this and we don’t. Christians believe this and we don’t. It is important to know what makes us different, but I hope we never let the things that make us different blind us from the things that bring us together. We both [...]
