The secret is out. Victoria Osteen, wife of Jubilant Joel, bribes her children with doughnuts to keep them interested in church. Scandalous except for its ubiquity. There isn't a parent or church leader around who doesn't know that they way to get the kids in the place on Sunday morning is good doughnuts. Some might say the Osteens are masters of the sugar makes everything better approach to life. The rest of the Newsweek story on Victoria is predictable, a pretty balanced piece, there are some tough digs. While we may agree with Lisa Miller that Osteen's "relationship advice is retrograde dross" - it sounds a little mean in print.
