I was simply going to post this link to a story about a man who discovered the image of Jesus Christ in a tree trunk, but I was so mesmerized by his amazing discovery I decided to look deeper into this miraculous find.
While the furniture-maker involved claims he found "an image of Jesus ascending to heaven," upon closer examination, I realized it doesn't look much like Jesus at all. Putting on my "CSI" hat (note: not an actual hat), I delved further into the mystery by turning the image in the tree trunk on its side.
This different perspective gave me a thunderbolt moment of awe and revelation! It was immediately apparent that what the furniture-maker had found was not merely an image of Jesus, but perhaps a deeper truth about Jesus. (Is it a coincidence that this image appears in wood and Jesus was a carpenter?)
Look closely at the image in the wood. Open your minds, ye scoffers ye.
What do you see? Do you have faith or not? Do you believe or not? Do you see the true figure in the wood? Do you see what I see? Are you tiring of all these questions? Behold, the true image in the wood!
That's right, it's Jesus, as the furniture-maker claims, but it's not just any Jesus. It's Goat Jesus!
Or something.
What does it all mean? Does it mean that Jesus is, in fact, in all things? Does it mean that certain religious leaders are likely to have had a penchant for eating tin cans? Does it mean that people who see religious figures in mundane things are complete jackasses?
I don't know the answer to these questions. All I know is that as long as we have wood, the world will be a better place. Or something.
