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

I’ve got wheels!

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!

  1. 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.

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

  3. 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.

    It is sad that such comments are written about this movie and record. This lady has suffered but she has also given her life to help other people with disabilities. She has not selfishly spent time writing comments that are not necessary and offensive. Think a bit before you respond about who you might be hurting

      I’m struggling to find the offensive comments.

      “Oh yeah, there

    2. Your lack of forethought in telling me that my lack of forethought might hurt someone, has hurt me. I can’t for the life of me find what’s hurtful about the other comments or op though.
