Yes, you can go to her website and sign up for the devotionals.

  Do you get the devotionals through her website? I'd love to know. I used to 
listen to her ten-minute thing on my local Christian radio station, but that 
station is hard to get now for some reason.

    Joni Tada is my hero.  She is truly an inspiration, I believe.  I get her 
daily devotionals and they are really wonderful.

      So sorry, Shannon, but you do inspire--all of you do--as do paralyzed 
people in wheelchairs who live normal lives, and people with conditions like CP 
and MS--to those of us who are physically able and cannot imagine what life 
would be like or how we would cope if we had any one of a number of conditions 
that to us would make life difficult, if not unbearable, knowing people like 
all of you who live complete, full lives, raise families, go to college and get 
Ph.Ds and have wonderful jobs, you are inspirations. You make us realize that 
our aches and pains are minor in comparison and if you can life with yours we 
can live with ours, and if I should lose my sight or have something else befall 
me instead of giving up I will, I hope, think of all of you and think that if 
you can live a normal life, so can.

      I'm afraid that you're just going to have to accept that you're an 
inspiration and be happy about it. smile
      Think of Joni Tada; I'm sure she wrote her books to inspire others. The 
book  validated certainly inspired me because of the people she wrote about and 
their attitudes.
