For His Blindness
. By Merrie Skinner ,
GROVELAND, Fla. (NEA) -
Terry Sanders’ large, soft,
green eyes may be blind. But
hesays he can see just fine.
“The Lord has opened my
< eyes to so many things that
blindness is no barrier,” says
the 22-year-old associate min-
ister of the Groveland Free
Church after a quiet prayer
session with a dozen members
of his congregation.
■A recent graduate of North
Carolina’s Piedmont Bible
College, Sanders has returned
to serve the, white frame
church he attended as a teen-
ager.
Unlike, many blind people,
Sanders does riot wear dark
glasses, carry a white cane or
' rely upon a dog guide. He says
he can find his way around th<
sanctuary — or even Disney,
World — without assistance. *
And he effortlessly plays
the church’s upright piano
with no need for sheet music.
the only objects around
him that even hint of his
blindness are the 18 large vol*
umes of his cherished Braille
-Bible. • „
Bristling at any offering of
sympathy, Sanders quickly
notes that blindness is any-
- thing but a handicap.
“I thank God for my
blindness,” he says in a firm
t- resonant tenor that parries
well from the front of the lit-
tle church to its eighth and
final pew. —.....• - '
“If I had a choice between
regaining my sight in return
lor giving up the Lord, I’d
keep the Lord,” he asserts.
“There’s so much out there
that I don’t need to see
anyway. I’ve definitely gained
from, my blindness.” *
Born blind because of
cataracts, Sanders underwent * - np.,tive
surgery when he was an infant .„ rah?„

“And the Lord gets~aU the
credit,” he adds.
were more difficult when he
could see.
“When I was a child, I was
high-strung and had a short
fuse,” he .recalls, noting that
he spent his youth traveling
among the taverns where his
parents played country-and-
westerngigs.
“I took a lot of ribbing back
then,” he says, “but my blind-
neSs really helped calm me 1
down.”
Sanders explains that he
has found his identity since
accepting his blindness and
his God. It was while walking
through a local orange grove
with his Brother in 1971 that
he suddenly realized be was
saved.
“I can cbpe jftw,” he says.
“The Lord has made my life
totally fulfilling.” .
; ■ ' '
Standing in front of a sim-
ple wooden cross, Sanders
delivers sermons known for
their strong Gospel flavor.
“Terry really tells it like it
is,” says the Rev. J.
Nussbaumer, the church’s
chief minister. “He’s really
strong on the Gospel side. And
he doesn’t care about stepping
on toes when he preaches
either.”
.......is
Sanders is also noted for his
sense of humor and his quick-
ness at memorization.
The young minister is
“loved by everyone,” reports
Nettie Kirkland, a church
member who has known him
since he was a teen-ager.
“We all think he’s great,”
she says. “You’d never know
he was blind.”
. Sanders says he doesn’t like
being ^msidered exceptional.
“I’m striving for normality,
ot exception,” he says. “And
