Comment on Slow Enough to Notice Each Other and Our Blessings by Barbara Carson

Hi Scott,

I wanted to tell you that the part of your blog about not being able to “hurry” is especially meaningful to me. My husband, who is now 62 and has been quadriplegic since age 19, cannot hurry either. I never really appreciated that like I should. God is teaching me not to rush anymore. For myself, I now see rushing as sinful because I am not trusting God when I rush…I’m trying to have control at the price of loosing peace and joy. I finally see what an ugly sin it is. I used to pride myself in how much I could squeeze out of every minute.

My husband and I have read your book and we love it!

We were young married members at Whitehaven Baptist when you were injured. I remember that day. I remember praying for you and your family and being amazed at how you were the encourager to all who visited. I remember laughing with your mother that they could dress you for the wedding the night before and not have to worry about getting you ready for the ceremony. I’ve watched from a distance and kept up through mutual friends. Yu have no idea that you were a great source of inspiration and comfort to me when we were dealing with our son Wiliam losing both his legs to a roadside bomb in Iraq. Reflecting back on you and your family gave me encouragement so many times during those months of healing and rehab. Just thought you might like to know that our divine encounter at WBC has had far reaching effects. Thank you Scott for being “Best When Broken”.

First of all I am so grateful that I was listening to relevent radio and heard your interview today. I have no physical disabilities, mental disabilities, or any addictions. I have been fortunate to have a family that loves me very much. I am facing some trials fueled by pride and selfishness. Although I am ashamed to say that I have wasted the gifts that God has given me, your interview also inspired me to to continue on my spiritual path to submit to God’s will for me, whatever that may be. I look forward to reading your book and may God bless you and your family.
Shawn

I just finished your book and loved every page of it! My only regret is that it wasn’t much longer. Thank you for being an inspiration to us.
