This edition of Crosstalk began with Jim requesting prayer for Joni Eareckson Tada who has received her second cancer diagnosis. Many Crosstalk listeners know Joni as an author, radio host, founder of Joni and Friends and a staunch advocate for the disabled community.

As Psalm 100:4 says: 'Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless His name.'

Psalm 97:12 says: 'Rejoice in the Lord, ye righteous; and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.'

In the spirit of those words from Scripture, Jim opened the phone lines to let listeners express why they are thankful.
