Culture: Rick Warren not blind, just had a traumatic gardening accident

  • I am NOT BLIND! — which should be obvious from me typing this note! (I asked for prayer on Twitter and all kinds of rumors started spreading) I’m now resting at home, with the pain being managed by oral meds and a regimen of eye meds to heal the damage. I expect to make a full recovery.
  • Pastor Rick Warren • Responding to fears on Twitter or elsewhere that he had gone blind. Which is very comforting considering the original message was so scary. He was injured in a gardening accident involving the Euphorbia tirucalli, which has toxic sap. (Thanks to Tom Alday for mentioning the update.) source
