Easter has, once again, come and gone. It was a weird Easter for me. I was on the tail end of a crazy illness that had me laid up in bed for several days leading up to Easter Sunday. On Easter Sunday, I managed to physically go to church and celebrate the truth that death could not keep Jesus in the grave. However, I am not so sure I was cognitively all there. I also wanted to write a blog post about the resurrection, but that too fell by the wayside due to being ill.
I am sure I have no idea what all Brittany Maynard was going through…. So many people have chimed in on the issue. I think I will refrain from doing so right now. Instead, I will let the video speak for itself and have us to consider there is another way to die. Lastly, may God bring comfort to the Maynard and McDonald families.
I enjoy reading Joni Eareckson Tada because of her perspective on suffering. She has personally helped me so much in my suffering.
If you are not familiar with her story – I encourage you…. get familiar!
Joni writes of Brittany M.:
“I understand she may be in great pain, and her treatment options are limited and have their own devastating side effects, but I believe Brittany is missing a critical factor in her formula for death: God. The journey Brittany — for that matter, all of us — will undertake on the other side of death is the most important venture on which we will ever embark.” Read more by Joni, click here: Joni Eareckson Tada
Here is another great post by John Piper on the issue.
