Autorenporträt

David Irving Jaynes was born on December 30, 1875 in Missouri. In these modern times, when a baby is born, an antibiotic, such as erythromycin, is carefully applied to a baby's eyes to prevent corneal infection which can lead to blindness. In the late 1800s, however, a German doctor found that a weak solution of silver nitrate would kill the bacteria that caused the infection. In a tragic and ironic twist, the silver nitrate solution used when Jaynes was born was too strong and burned the very corneas it was supposed to protect, blinding him immediately. During his early years, he was taught by his mother, Ida Drusilla Reece (Jaynes), who cultivated in him a love for music and reading in Braille. This opened up for him the world of literature where his neice noted that his fingers could "read like lightning" and soon, he began writing as well on a special Braille typewriter. But possibly the greatest blessing of his life (and ours) was his love for the word of God. His great neice, Margaret Susan Emery, remembers bedtime in the large four-poster bed with her sister, Dorothy, while their Uncle David, sat in the rocking chair and read them to sleep from his Braille Bible. Through his blindness, he was able to see clearly, God's plan of salvation revealed in scripture through the living Spirit of Jesus Christ, Who was and is "The Word" made flesh for us all.
