A diving accident in 1967 left Mrs. Tada a quadriplegic in a wheelchair, unable to use her hands. During two years of rehabilitation, she spent long months learning how to paint with a brush between her teeth. Her high detail fine art paintings and prints are sought after and collected.
Joni was a guest on "Larry King Live" and did a tremendous job giving her testimony! It will move you to tears at different points during the interview. Its amazing the freedom they give to someone in her condition to share their faith. The whole interview can be watched from her website. I am not sure if will work for those of you on dial-up but you can give it a try I guess.Here is the link> Joni and Friends.
Scroll down to get to the Larry King interview.
The two ideas that jumped out at me as she shared were these:
People get all pumped and excited when their favorite sports team or hero wins. Do we Christians get excited and pumped when we hear a fellow Christian proclaim the name of Jesus openly in front of millions of people? Joni could be considered a hero to our Christian faith for her courage.
The other thought or question that kept coming to my mind was this:
What it will be like when Joni moves from this life to Glory? I can see her running to Jesus with her new strong legs and wrapping her new strong arms around Him in utter joy and delight!
