This is not a story of the image of the Virgin Mother on a grilled cheese sandwich or Jesus on a tortilla. Hope you’re not disappointed, but I think this is far better....

....“God planted a tree and waited on me,” Hayes told me. “The wood was made for this piece.” The wood itself tells a story. The original log of Ponderosa Pine was floated down the Mississippi from Minnesota to Hannibal. It was originally a beam at the old Masonic Temple in Hannibal. By counting the rings and the passage of time, Hayes puts its age at 300-years-old....

....now that his work is hanging on the wall on the chapel at Holy Family Church in Hannibal, Hayes is hanging up his tools at age 79. He’s carved Christ. How do you top that? Today, he’s spending his time making banjos.

I thought maybe it was a formation of cattle on Ben Cartwight ranch.

Ponderosa Steak House. Takes me way back..... Do they still have those anywhere?

What are you up to?

This is the sixth post I’ve seen today about images of Jesus appearing in unusual places.

Is this getting close to some type of record?

I'm convinced!

A man walks into a sandwich shop and orders:

"May I have a Jesus on toast, side of deviled eggs!"

Not bad, but he needs to bring out the detail in the beard. Right now he looks more like Fred Gwynne than the traditional Jesus.
