jesus sightings: i was quoted in the delaware news journal

By August 23, 2008Blog


Do the markings this slab of wood look like Jesus? For the last twelve years, the lady in this picture has been keeping her holy wood a secret. But now Nadine, a Delaware resident, has decided to share her slab of art–a picture she says is a artistic combo of God and Mother Nature–with the rest of the world.

Sorry Nadine, but I think the “etching” looks more like The Scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz than it does Jesus. I mean, perhaps Mother Nature would draw Jesus with a third appendage coming out of his armpit, but I don’t believe God would. Am I right?

Anyway, I’m telling you about Nadine’s “Jesus Wood” because a reporter for the Delaware News Journal picked up Nadine’s story and interviewed me for a piece he was writing on “Jesus sightings.” The article came out today. Here’s the link if you care to know what I said.

Hey, and he mentioned my book churched. That’s cool.

Viagra is for the treatment of inability to get or keep an erection and similar states when hard-on is of low quality. When you buy remedies like cialis from canada you should know about cialis online canada. It may have a lot of brands, but only one ATC Code. Erectile disfunction, defined as the persistent impossibility to maintain a satisfactory erection, affects an estimated 15 to 30 millions men in the America alone. Sexual soundness is an substantial part of a man’s life, no matter his age etc.

    Cool. Though I wish he would have done a better job distinguishing you from Carter Turner, lest you be confused for a professor in VA.

    looks like someone had fun in the craft cabin, then tried to pass it off as divine craftiness! 😉

  • Sara says:

    Ok… am I the only one here who choked on my drink when you wrote Jesus wood? Am I still just a mental adolescent? Or do I need to go to confession immediately? (I’m not even sure what I would be confessing… it’s just what we were always told to do…)

    And don’t humans etch into wood all the time? Why would we not think this was manmade?

    Now a cat on the other hand… there’s one of God’s creatures that can’t be manipulated…

    🙂

    I was especially excited when you mentioned Cheesus.

    My little sister’s first job was at a Papa John’s. They called her Cheesus Crust because, she said, “When it comes to making pizza, I am like a god to those morons I work with.”

    Cheesus…haha!

    To me it looks like an “older” Tinkerbell–she’s gained a good bit of weight and her pixie dust is clumpy.

  • You know what I “see” Jesus every day when my 5 precious babies wake up! It is sad that people are so desperately seeking that which is right in front of them!

  • Kelly says:

    I believe it’s not a third arm, it’s a nubbin.

    BTW, I thought they found Mother Teresa in the “Nun Bun.” Did I miss the Jesus roll?

  • @Kelly: Yes, it was Mother Theresa’s they found in the honey bun. I thought I had corrected myself during the interview, but I guess it didn’t take. 🙁 How are things with you?

  • Stephanie says:

    (a Selah fan who found Angie’s blog, then found Jessica’s blog, then found Matthew’s blog… who loves the blog title…this could go on a while!)

    I immediately thought this was a carving a Jesus b/c the woman is in a CHURCH. I am not sure that I would or could have made that leap if the stump had been on the side of the road.

    Besides, he looks like he’s wearing a cape or a sweater. Can you say Superman, anyone?

  • OK, I figured out who this picture looks like… the Gordon’s fisherman?!
