A little background on myself. In 1981 I took my first ASL class. While in high school I befriend a young man who was deaf. Due to this friendship I decided to take the ASL classes. Since then I have worked with the deaf in various ways. However since around 1995, I started noticing my hearing was becoming worse and harder to use. Since that time I have become deaf myself.
During this time I have come to realize that deafness is more than a physical limit. It comes with a certain way of thinking as well. There is also a culture and a way of life that is connected to it. I am also there is a division in the way people look at the deaf world, both in the secular and religious worlds.
