Sign Language

Wow! What a new way of speaking. I am more impressed with American Sign Language than any other language that I have studied. I never realized how much is said with actions and movement. I am recently taking a small crash course on ASL. It is only going to last for 12 sessions however in one day I can see how I would love to lean the language fluently. I feel that by knowing this language I am a better person. So many times we take for granted the ability to hear. I never gave it much mind until I met someone who could not hear. I find it amazing how full of life that person is. I feel as though they value things more so than I do. I truly believe that due to never understanding and still having no actual way of understanding what deaf people go through I will never appreciate ASL the way that deaf people do. Also I have recently gotten to know a gentleman who is an interpreter and I believe that he has a special calling from God. This is just a thought I had and deciede that put out there.
