As a result of this condition, McGuire had 13 surgeries before he was 16 years old and wore braces on his legs until he was 12. He writes that he spent most of his adolescence “proving to everyone who came close that I was normal.” After struggling mightily to prove to the world that he was normal, McGuire realized he would have to learn to deal with a similar issue as a father when Jason, his first son, was born with Down Syndrome.

Location:
Rush Creek Golf Club Throughout the history of the Church, it has been tempting for believers to forget the cosmic consequences of Christianity, to privatize their faith and assume that Christian conviction had relevance only to personal salvation and spirituality. But since it describes the whole of life, Christian belief has consequences for all dimensions of cultural experience. The great challenge for Christians living in what was once “Christendom” is to recognize that we live in a time of the slow de-Christening of the culture around us.
