Blog of living life with a disability as a Christian
Wheelchairjohn.com is John’s blog about living life with a disability as a Christian. He has three goals for the blog:
- People with a disability can get ideas, encouragement, and motivation for their own lives.
- Those in the community can get a better understanding of living a life with a disability.
- Those visiting the blog can read how Faith has assisted John to live with a disability.
Life
“Life isn’t about what happens to you. Life is about how you respond to what happens to you.”
Why “Wheelchairjohn”?
John admits “Wheelchairjohn” is a poor way of describing himself, as he is “John Duthie” who uses a wheelchair, who has a spinal injury, and chronic pain, and many other things. However, “Wheelchairjohn” is easy to remember and sounds better than “Johnwheelchair”, or “Johninawheelchair” or other combinations.
So “Wheelchairjohn” it is, and you can visit the site here or view the posts below.
