...while she was cleaning last week, she says an image of Jesus appeared on the bumper sticker on the toilet lid.

Her boyfriend now says he sees the image and it's given them a positive feeling after they almost lost their home to foreclosure. Nelson says she's even willing to let visitors come see it, if it might help them as well.

"I hope he doesn't get lonely in there, you know?" says Stolfi, 49.

"He" is the coffee stain, on a mason jar drinking mug, in which Stolfi sees a bearded image of Jesus Christ bearing a crown of thorns. The image, smaller than a square inch, appeared to him April 29, after he had finished drinking coffee from the jar, which bears the residue of dried coffee and cream.

"It doesn't smell, though, and I will never be washing it," he said. (...)

"You don't hear about an image like this coming to everybody every day," he said. "It's so rare. He selected me for some reason." source

People from the town organised the petition in an effort to have the stump, which was due to be dug out of the ground yesterday, made into a permanent fixture at the church. "We have almost 2,000 signatures on the petition already and we are going to continue getting more," said shopkeeper Séamus Hogan. (source)

She told the South Wales Echo: "Straight away Jamie said 'that looks like God', and my other boys (Robbie, four, and Tomas, 11) even said they could see a face.

"People might think I'm nuts, but I like to think it's Jesus looking out for us.

"We've had a tough couple of months; my mum's been really ill and it's comforting to think that if he is there, he's watching over us." (BBC)

Who knew that one day the Lord would appear as himself in the starring role in a bag of cheetos? I must say, if Jesus chooses to appear in the 21st century, showing up as a cheeto makes as much sense as any. In fact, why doesn't he just change all that silly transubstantiated bread into cheetos? A lot more kids (and adults) are likely to show up to take Mass if they get to sample the cheesy, salty, oh-so-crunchy flesh of Christ. (video via Atheist Media Blog)

Why is it that God and his mysterious agents Jesus and Mary always choose to show up in places that make no sense? To prove he exists, of course! Via J-Walk:

Nancy Simoes said she had three pieces in a skillet and flipped one of them and saw the letter G.

"Then got the O and I thought to myself how cool will it be if the third letter was a D."

Simoes realizes people may think she's crazy.

"I can't make this up. ... it's there in the burn marks."

One has to wonder (as others have pointed out) why the woman couldn't have thought this spelled DOG. The 'D' is pretty sketchy to begin with, so maybe GOO or OOG.

Yep, she's once again shown her preference for appearing to greasy wanderers. This holy cameo took place just in time for a group of masked Mexican wrestlers to see.

"She started to cry and didn't want to clean the griddle anymore," said Brenda Martinez, who manages the family-owned restaurant.

The griddle has been taken off the stove and is now displayed in a room behind the kitchen that is quickly filling up with rosaries, flowers, votive candles and other offerings left by visitors from the Imperial Valley and from Mexicali across the border.

"I feel she is here with us. I can feel her presence," said Joe Acuna, who owns a landscaping firm.

...

But that hasn't stopped people -- including several Mexican wrestlers in colorful costumes and masks -- from making the trek to the restaurant, which is known for its menudo and carne asada and is tucked in a corner of a popular swap meet at Hacienda Drive and Ollie Avenue.

"Judith Ellen and Judith Lynn "Judy" Lanier, mother and daughter, have handed out hundreds of photographs of a plum-colored armchair in their Irvine living room. On the backrest, they perceive something holy, something they can't keep to themselves: the face of an open-eyed, resurrected Jesus Christ."

"I prayed between licking my wounds and looking for a job," he said. "We rarely get rockfalls and this formation is 20 feet from my house. It's definitely a symbol of the hand of God in my life."

However, the winning bidder on eBay should not start clearing out his backyard. Grayhek is not planning to part with the formation.

The buyer will "basically be buying the rights, complete and exclusive rights" to the rock, including literary and movie rights, according to Grayhek. (CNN)
