Better Off Dead Than Disabled?

Joni Eareckson Tada recently wrote a brief review of the film "Me Before You"- "the story is about a young man named Will who became paralyzed in a motorcycle accident. The filmmakers did a great job of conveying his emotional struggles in facing a life without use of his hands or legs. As you might expect, Will falls into suicidal despair. That is until his mother hires Louisa, an upbeat young woman who sees it as her job to cheer him up. In time, they fall in love."

"Yes, Me Before You pulls strongly at your emotions. But that's not good in light of its ending. Despite having fallen in love with Louisa, Will nevertheless asks his parents to take him to Switzerland where he checks into a suicide clinic to kill himself. What a tragic ending!"

On the program today, I will talk about Joni's article and about what the Scriptures have to say about God's Providence.
