Action for blind people

A friend of mine recently got a short term contract with these people. The following is from their home page.

- Home Page: "Action for Blind People is a national charity that provides practical support to blind and partially sighted people through work, housing, leisure and support.

Our vision is quite simple. We believe in a world where people who are blind or partially sighted are enabled to actively participate in society and have equal access to the choices and opportunities that so many take for granted.

Action for Blind People is more than just a name; it is what we do."

a sideways glance

Something my wife found. (deep breath) This is a blog by the pastor of the church that my wife's manager goes to. It is interesting reading. I also found it interesting to see that he enjoyed some of the same films and books as I do, to whit "Neuoromancer" by William Gibson on the book side with "Donny Darko" and "Fargo" in the cinematic category.

I also enjoyed that his synopsis of himself is so short and nicely structured. I cannot quite put my finger on why I like it but here it is...

a sideways glance: "I'm a passionate follower of Jesus. I'm a husband and a dad. I pastor a church in a London suburb. I'm the author of Why Bother with Church?"
