I found Jesus at Walmart


I make my way into Walmart about once a year, and that occasion happened to fall this week. I was specifically looking for a KidSongs dvd since my sister told me she has seen them at Wally World for $1. We've checked out the two copies our library has a couple of times, so I figured if we could own our own for a buck, I'd make my annual trip to that store. I did find this dvd for $1, and also stumbled upon a Jesus Action Figure for only $14.99. I'd seen them and laughed at them at Terra Toys before, but I *was* in Walmart, so the subliminal messages got to me and I bought it.

Driving home in the car, Caroline pushed the button on his back several times. "I love him!" she cooed. Jesus AF recites John 3:16 and also tells the story of the miracle of loaves and fishes. After a few tellings, Caroline told me she didn't like Jesus's voice.

Now, for those of you thinking Walmart was selling Jesus, Amanda. Your beloved Target wouldn't do that. Notice the link above -- Target sells Jesus, too. Anything to make a buck, man. And I don't know that it's all that noble to sell Jesus to the masses.

    SO MANY JOYS, like all good titles, has multiple meanings. My life is filled with joy. Motherhood is filled with joy. And my family is filled with Joyces! My grandmothers, born Joyce B. and Joyce Fay, began the naming tradition. My mother, Velda Joyce, carried it on and passed it on to me, Amanda Joyce. Our fourth generation of Joyces includes my daughter Caroline Joyce and my nieces Megan Joyce and Sophia Joyce.


    The joy of the Lord is my strength!
