A few weeks ago this blog featured sightings of Jesus in a tree (or quite a lot of trees, actually).

Is it me? I find this kind of thing hilarious. Jesus is everywhere and so desperate to be real to us, yet half the world's population only seems to be able to interpret Him in a sap stain or a mangled pretzel (and get bids of over $7,000 for said pretzel on eBay!!)

So imagine my delight when I came across a blog entitled What Would Jesus See? It's a repository of these mysterious and tantalisingly fleeting sightings of Jesus... in a rock, a spoon, a beer label, a rotten potato (oh, yes), an X-ray, under a can of driveway sealant (although from the expression, I think that may actually be Judas. Hey, all dark-haired, bearded men look alike...), wallpaper, a pet flap, and a microwaved cellphone. You know, all the usual places Jesus hangs out. And then there's a whole host (geddit) of Virgin Mary sightings.

Why are people so keen to see Jesus everywhere? Because there's money in them-thar hills. That sneaky-looking Jesus under the driveway sealant? The levered-out slab of concrete fetched $1,525.69 on eBay. And "I won't take less than $38,000 for it," said the young lady in New Zealand who found Jesus in a beach pebble. Well, after all, the bridegroom will not always be with us.

I'm off to rifle through a box of mis-shapen biscuits. I may post next from Aruba.
