I subscribe to Newsweek, mostly out of habit than for its inherent informative value.  It’s the kind of magazine that I can breeze through in 30 minutes or so and find one or two articles of interest, dismissing the rest as filler and fluff.  Newsweek fell further in my esteem when a regular fluff-piece co-sponsored by Beliefnet<\/A> started appearing in the magazine.  Beliefnet is a religiously-themed portal site offering a lot of fuzzy, feel-good content that, from what I gather, is designed to make readers have a “There but for the grace of God” moment during their lunch hour.  So it should be no surprise that Beliefnet wants to “put together a collection of stories and photographs of disabled people of faith accomplishing amazing things<\/A>.”  They set the bar even higher by asking that these stories be imbued with “courage” and “inspiration.”<\/DIV>

Why, just this morning, I got out of bed.  And soon, I will commit the incredibly heroic act of going into the office for a meeting.  The fact that I’m not a “person of faith” might raise some eyebrows, but I think I can score some additional points by submitting a photo of myself in which I’m flashing a brave smile, though it’s still evident that I’m gritting my teeth in the face of tremendous, unimaginable physical and emotional suffering.  <\/DIV>
