I've Got Wheels - Joni Eareckson Tada - Joni and Friends

Joni’s Kids, I’ve got Wheels, as found on BizarreRecords.com. From the back cover:

If you ride a skateboard or pedal a bike or push a scooter, you already have a lot in common with people in wheelchairs — wheels!

Joni Eareckson Tada (pronounced Johnny) dove into some shallow water without realizing it, and was paralyzed as a result. She had some issue with God, and well, ended up founding a ministry over it. I was going to look into picking up this LP on the off chance she talked about skateboards, but all I could find was a CD reissue for $17 and a cassette tape for $30! Aside from the ministry, she also does wheelchair outreach. JoniAndFriends.org. Oh yeah, there’s a green plastic skateboard on the cover. Whee!

    Holy Shit! I was telling a friend how I saw the movie about her when I was like 7 or something. That’s some freaky shit because I hadn’t thought about Jony probably since then. Weird.

    I found that record at goodwill a couple years ago. I left it there, the cover creeped me out too much…whoops.

    Yep, I saw the movie too, when I was about 9.
    My mom used to drag me to fundy movies when I was a kid.
