This should be very interesting. And Joni is a good one to produce such a program.
For those who don't know her, Joni was injured during a diving accident when she was a young woman and has been paralyzed from the neck down ever since. Instead of giving up on life and seeking to be euthanized (since some would suggest her life isn't worth living), she's gone on to learn to paint, has written several books, has a radio show, has an international ministry, and as this post illustrates, is still making a vital contribution to society.
In other words, despite her very obvious handicap, she still finds life very much worth living. In fact, she's accomplished more than most of us who have the use of all our limbs.
