Blindsight. This item is unavailable.Blindsight

For we walk by faith, not by sight. 2 Corinthians 5:7. I joined the ranks of the blind in 2005 after six decades of pretty good vision. With the encouragement of many folks, I began to record my adventures as a blind guy with short one or two page articles. My intent and hope was to relate some of life’s experiences to God’s written word, to expose readers to various passages of Scripture, and to share with others a little of my personal walk with God. “Blindsight” is a compilation of thirty such articles.

John Murphy and his wife Marylee have resided in Orrington, Maine since 1973. They have raised ten children, six homemade and four adopted, plus numerous foster children over the years. They have been members of East Orrington Congregational Church (EO CC) since 1985. John is a retired, professional Structural Engineer. In 1992, as EOCC was considering a new meetinghouse to replace the existing inadequate buildings, he volunteered his engineering expertise as the principal designer of the new church facility, which opened in November of 1994. John has served on many EOCC committees, including two extended terms on the Board of Deacons. It was while on the Board of Deacons, he penned the devotional entitled The Deacon’s Bench for the EOCC bi-monthly newsletter, the Pen of Power. A compilation of these newsletter articles entitled From the Deacon’s Bench” was published in 2013. Following the onset of blindness in 2005, he was encouraged to continue writing similar articles with a focus on his experiences as a blind guy. “Blindsight” is the compilation of many of these articles.
