I know I'm bad, but the only thing I took away from this story was a laugh that the Father's name is McWeeney.

He used $1,500 of his good fortune to purchase a brand new baby Jesus.May the Good Lord bless him for his good actions, but I pray He also gifts him with enough wisdom in the future to not get taken on another baby Jesus for $1500.00.
Walmart has 'em for much less, I would think.
Or perhaps there is more to the story, such as, maybe, the baby was $29.95 and the rest went into the poor box.
I hope so.

May the Good Lord bless him for his good actions,
for gambling?
1 Timothy 6:10 10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.
idolatry being one of them
it strikes me oddly a caretaker of 26 years would lack the holiness and fullness of the spirit as to avoid squandering what is the Lords to begin with

When Wal-Mart starts carrying hand carved or resin life sized statuary and is willing to sell the individual pieces that match the Nativity set one already has, you be sure to let Mr. Lopez know.

"God work in mystery way, because I can't explain it." Lopez said.
The estimable Mr. Lopez must be a public school graduate.

What was Jesus made of that he cost $1500? I've never even met an entire Nativity scene that cost that much.

God..God the Son...once told his disciples to go catch a fish they did and inside the fish's mouth found the money they needed for the tax collector...
Granted they did not get any extra to spend on luxury items for themselves..
Maybe God did guide him to purchase a lottery ticket and get the money for the plastic baby Jesus figure...?
If he has a gambling addiction or this 'win' causes him to throw money away he should be feeding his family with...well thats another issue altogether..
Was the man's act good? bad?...
Other than God himself...Who knows eh?

He used $1,500 of his good fortune to purchase a brand new baby Jesus. Not just any old baby Jesus, but Action Baby Jesus, with Kung-Fu Grip (Disciples Not Included).
