The log's owner, Mel Robertson, calls it the 'holy log' and says that she keeps it as a 'lucky charm'.
However, she admits that it 'hasn't brought any luck yet', but is hopeful that one day it will.
Fingers crossed, Mrs Robertson.
The mum of two from Solihull told Metro.co.uk that the face first appeared back in October 2009, but got clearer and clearer as the months went by.
She said: 'We had some firewood by the fireplace – at first it looked like a skull and crossbones – but as the months wore on, it just appeared around the knot in the wood. It was a dark mark and the sap made the face of Jesus – it came up more and more.'
Mrs Robertson says the log actually helps to cheer her up and her two kids love it. 'They think it's hilarious,' she said.
The local vicar, who's seen a photo of it, is just as tickled. 'He thinks it's hilarious, too,' said Mrs Robertson, 41.
She added: 'I'm not sure it's a sign – but I thought it would have faded by now.'

The Lord is making a lot of appearances lately.
Perhaps is HE letting us know HE will be here soon.
“The Log Song”, from Ren & Stimpy
“What rolls down stairs alone or in pairs
Rolls over your neighbor’s dog?
What’s great for a snack and fits on your back?
It’s Log, Log, Log!
It’s Log, Log, it’s big, it’s heavy, it’s wood.
It’s Log, Log, it’s better than bad, it’s good!
Everyone wants a log! You’re gonna love it, Log!
Come on and get your log! Everyone needs a Log!”
With “soon” being sometime in the next 4000 years...
Looks more like Mr. ZigZag
I’m not so sure about this one. To me, it looks more like ‘Shaggy’ from the Scooby-Doo cartoons.
Looks more like Paul Bunyan to me.
I personally think that Jesus was squat but muscular, about 5' 4", swarthy completion and a very short beard, 170lb and had a big nose. So what?
How come people, when they see what perhaps can be constured to look like a face on some object, always claim it must be Jesus? Why not Elvis or Mohammad or somebody else?
Didn’t know Paul had a Bunyan. He should use Dr.Shoals
FESTIVAL OF APPARITIONS!
These appearances (called apparitions) have occurred with increasing frequency since the nineteenth century, and have attracted widespread attention. Pope Pius XII, in calling attention to the apparitions, referred to the nineteenth century as the "century of Marian predilection [i.e., preference]." And the present century cannot be far behind: one leading Marian scholar notes that there have been more than 200 reported apparitions since the 1930s alone.[2] With the various shrines dedicated to the particular apparitions attracting millions of pilgrims each year, it is easy to see that this phenomenon is having a substantial impact on the almost one-billion-member Roman Catholic church.

How corny. That response caught me flat-footed. :-)
Next we will be treated to the likeness of the Good Lord appearing on a tortilla.
Just take a look at the Shroud of Turin. It shows how tall He was, and with computer imaging it can even show, to a degree, what He looked like.
This stuff is so stupid, I mean, really, really, stupid, actually, beyond stupid. Shame on any Christian partaking in such nonsense.
Looks like a CW general.
