I feel bad for the kid, and his family. I'm so, so glad they've decided to treat him like a normal kid. But he's not. He's as handicapped as someone with an exceptionally low IQ is. It's not an easy road he has ahead of him.

God did it for us. Out of sheer generosity he put us in right standing with himself. A pure gift. He got us out of the mess we're in and restored us to where he always wanted us to be. And he did it by means of Jesus Christ. ~Romans 3:24 from The Message

Oh, I dunno. I turned out OK.

Take this for example:
Here we have an educated Academy Award winning artist whose success has been driven by his talent for projecting an image. And yet, despite the best efforts of his staff of publists, agents, handlers and his other "people" he doesn't have the presence of mind to realize that the order of the words he has written across his fingers will be reversed when he reverses his wrists.
This is just one more burdensome weight that Pranav and I will have to labor beneath until the neurons storing this image are finally smothered by the Lewy Bodies, prions and other protein clutter.
