My Trip to Acessible Israel
By Fred Maahs, Jr.
I grew up attending Catholic schools and spent many hours during my youth studying the Bible, the Holy Land, and the origins of my faith during religion class or in church. For me, Jerusalem and the birthplace of Christ were places that were held with absolute reverence. I never imagined that I would actually visit these holy places, especially after an accident that left me paralyzed from the chest down and using a wheelchair when I was scheduled to begin my first year at college.
I’ ve always been a firm believer that things happen for a reason. The purpose of my trip to Israel is yet another affirmation for me that God has a plan for all of us.
