are you for real?




This is the DELUXE Miracle Jesus Action Figure...not just the regular one but the Deluxe. Its selling point is that it has "glow in the dark hands". And it's Deluxe because it has the accessories for the story of Jesus turning water into wine plus the accessories for the story of the five loaves and two fish. This particular action figure was given to Jason from one of the school moms...which is very thoughtful of her to give to him (although he laughed when she first gave it to him because he thought it was a joke....just a slightly awkward moment). But it has been sitting in Jason's office for quite a few months now and I'm still not sure what to think of Jesus action figures...it seems a little sacrilegious....especially when Ethan asked Jason one day "Daddy, can you get God off the shelf so I can play with him?"

Oh, my! It wasn't a joke?

Yikes. I guess if it came with real wine, it might start to make more sense.

Erin,
We have a Jesus action figure that gets passed around here as a White Elephant gift. I imagine it's time for it to be seen again. But we don't have the deluxe version. I'm quite jealous!
