speaking of mary in a grilled cheese

| Okay, now a water spot on a concrete overpass is the latest miracle of Mary
appearing in a weird place. People are weeping! I'm sorry, am I too cynical?
My opinion: (disclaimer--this is only an opinion and my very own at that--I
do not dare push it on anyone else, just sharing it)
People are getting further and further from believing in their Gods as there
are just no miracles of the Bible anymore to keep them safe in their faith,
so whatever crutch (not meant to be derogatory, just a fitting word) they
can find, they are pouncing on in order to restore something they feel
they're losing.

The road to Hell is paved by the DOT.

| LOL that reminds me. Missouri is completely redoing Hwy 60 and have been
ever since my sisters moved to Springfield about 15 years ago and we have a
new way to go or a new detour every time we go visit. This last time there
were signs every 50 miles or so talking about MODOT dollars at work and when
a certain project would be completed. What was the best was one where it was
obvious they were taking over someone's home to run the new four lanes and
right under the blue MODOT sign in their yard they had put a huge sign sayin
MODOT SUCKS.

Someone sees what they think reflects their own image of what the
Virgin Mary looks like. Someone explain to me what is "miraculous"
about this.

So do I. I love her Scarpetta Series, but she also wrote a beautiful
book about Ruth Graham.

There seems to be a sudden interest in religion. TV shows with religious
undertones are popping up. Da Vinci Code is made into a movie starring
Tom Hanks. What gives?

It's pretty miraculous someone can look at a grilled cheese sandwich or
a water spot and convince themselves it looks like the virgin Mary.
And what about all those messages from Satan in vinyl records played
backward?
I must just be imagination challenged.

Well, while Hollywood is exploiting the fact that all the pieces are coming
together, the pieces are coming together.
