| Image of Christ? |
I should’ve been healed! I would’ve been rich! I could’ve at least felt good!!!!
AP News reports that the Triumph Learning and Worship Center in Saraland, Alabama has Jesus in their midst. The drywall buckled due to water damage after Hurricane Katrina, leaving some bubbling on the wall’s surface that forms the image of Christ with His arms outstretched. A picture frame was placed around the image and believers who have touched the wall report miraculous healings, including no more seizures and improved eyesight.
Curious as to where else Jesus might have been spotted, I went to E-Bay and found Him for sale in:
-a piece of wood for $10,000.
-the shape of a rock for $1,080,000.
-a photo of a cloud formation for $900.
-a stone for $499.
-a red smudge on a five-dollar bill for $3,500.
-a mahogany stained dresser for $10,000.
-some sort of foam material for only $19.99 (“Everyone who saw this took a second look and felt good,” says the seller).
-and for those of us who prefer the Virgin Mary, her image can be purchased in a decorative plate for $4,999 (HAVE MARY MOTHER OF JESUS WATCH OVER YOU AT YOUR DINNER TABLE OR YOUR HOUSE).
I might go for the foam material, $19.99 is such a bargain price to pay to ‘feel good.’ But really, I could just kick myself! I had a chance to make some bucks on E-bay and gave it away! A few years ago, I faux finished a coffee table to look like pink marble. Lo and behold, there was the face of Jesus peeking out at me from the feather finish on one end of the table! Then again, it could’ve been the face of the homeless guy that used to hang out in front of my mom’s sandwich shop. How do all these people know what Jesus looked like, anyway? |

Very funny what people will do "to get close to God"....almost anything but pray, read the bible and live the life. I guess we get what we pay for, huh?
