At NorthWood we have a lot of things that we do for special needs children - and adults.  Henri Nouwen you would be proud - if you’re looking down.  From Sunday morning special classes, to a program called REVIVE for parents of special needs children, then there’s our ministry to Vietnam where we write curriculum and teach others to teach teachers of special needs students. 

One of the most exciting things are the adults that come to NorthWood with special needs.  This picture is only half - I couldn’t make my iPhone get them all in - but there are close to 50 involved.  They come as a group to worship and have their own time at the church on Tuesday nights. 

I call these the “more than” people.  They are more loving, more forgiving, more kind, more everything.  That extra chromosome some of them have - has made them exceptional in so so many ways.  Why are they all that way?  Why isn’t there something where people are born mad and are more harsh more angry and more negative?  Oh yeah - I’m sorry I forgot -that’s the rest of us!  We’re missing what they got - I wonder if it’s in that extra chromosome that makes them so much more!  I love you guys -
