Mark 10:46-52 New International Version (NIV)
When they came to Jericho. As Jesus and his disciples, together with a large crowd, were leaving the city, a blind man, Bartimaeus (which means “son of Timaeus”), was sitting by the roadside begging. When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” Many rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.” So they called to the blind man, “Cheer up! On your feet! He’s calling you.” Throwing his cloak aside, he jumped to his feet and came to Jesus. “What do you want me to do for you?” Jesus asked him. The blind man said, “Rabbi, I want to see.” “Go,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you.” Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus along the road.

It is perfectly possible for a sighted person to learn to read and write in Braille. Gaining this skill allows you to communicate in writing with the blind, develops your brain to think in a code, and gives new appreciation for those with a disability. This requirement confirms your mastery of the skill set required by this honor. 90 words a minute is not that fast. By comparison, the average adult reads printed English at 300 words per minute.

To do this you will need equipment that can emboss since the letter presumably will be in Braille. You'll also need a braille key and/or have memorized the alphabet (required to read Braille in Requirement 10). You'll want to find a blind person to send or give the letter to as well. If you really have trouble finding someone locally, try Christian Record Services for a name and address.

John 9 relates the story of a man healed by Jesus who was born blind, the religious leaders investigation of the healing and the spiritual lessons Jesus taught about spiritual blindness. Enjoy your discussion.
