Some of the most important things we give children with disabilities do not fit neatly into a progress report.
Not every victory is academic. Not every milestone happens in therapy. Some of it looks like confidence growing in ordinary moments. Some of it looks like being part of the noise, movement, friendships, and freedom that make up a normal school day.
That matters more than many people realize.
For too many children with disabilities, life gets shaped by limits other people assume for them. They are too often protected from participation instead of welcomed into it. But real inclusion does not stop at the classroom door. It reaches into recess, routines, relationships, and the everyday experiences that help a child feel, “This place is for me too.”
That is what makes moments like this worth noticing. Not because they are unusual. Because they should not be. #DisabilityInclusion #Belonging #EveryChildMatters ... See MoreSee Less

Disability theology starts with a simple, steady claim: a disabled person is not a category. Not a symbol. Not an object lesson. Not an interruption. Not someone to be "fixed."
A disabled person is a neighbor. A whole person, made in the image of God, worthy of honor, rich with gifts, capable of joy, agency, friendship, and contribution. Fully seen by God, fully claimed by God, fully included in the story God is telling.
When we talk about inclusion, we can accidentally treat it like a project we do for someone else. But the deeper invitation is for all of us: to become the kind of community where worth is never measured by speed, speech, independence, or output—because that’s not how God measures.
The Church doesn’t make room for disabled people as an act of kindness. We recognize what has been true all along: they belong. We belong. Together. #DisabilityTheology #ImagoDei #Belonging ... See MoreSee Less

Some leadership happens in meeting rooms. But the kind that matters most does not stay there.
It shows up. It pays attention. It asks what is needed now, what must be protected, and what it will take to keep moving forward with integrity and purpose.
Eternal Anchor's annual board meeting in the San Quintin Valley was a meaningful reminder that Eternal Anchor is guided by people who do more than lend their names. They bring wisdom, accountability, encouragement, and a shared commitment to inclusion, dignity, and belonging.
From left to right: Tim Rivers, Emily Williams (Vice President), Nicole Zinn (President), Virginia Swatsky (Secretary), Alex Robinson (Treasurer), Austin Robinson (Executive Director & Co-Founder), Steven Esau, and Deborah Garcia (Director, Justice & Equity and Co-Founder).
We are grateful for each of these leaders and the steady care they bring to this work. #Leadership #NonprofitLeadership #DisabilityInclusion #SanQuintin ... See MoreSee Less
