Jesus? Is that you?

The Bible says that the Lord works in mysterious ways.  If you believe a South Carolina couple, Jacob Simmons and Gentry Lee Sutherland, then Jesus appeared in an image on their Walmart cash register receipt.  Just like at Easter, Jesus appeared on the receipt three days after the food and whatnot was purchased from the local Walmart store, and according to Simmons and Sutherland, Jesus’s appearance mirrors a lesson the couple heard in church last week.

“I was leaving the kitchen and I just looked on the floor, and it was like it was looking at me,” said Simmons of his close encounter with Jesus via Walmart receipt.  “Then the more you look at it, the more it looked like Jesus, and it was just shocking, breathtaking.”

Added Ms. Sutherland, “We just feel like it’s a blessing that God showed it to us and opened our eyes.  And we feel we should share the blessing God gave to us to everybody else.”

According to Walmart, the only thing that can discolor a receipt like that is a heat source, but Simmons says there wasn’t a heat source enough to cause the discoloration.  To Simmons and Sutherland, this is a miracle.  The receipt joins an ever-growing list of places Jesus has showed his face, including an iron, naan bread, a frying pan, a bruise, Poland, and even church.

The Red Cross is a wonderful organization.  When there’s trouble, the Red Cross is there setting up shelters and handing out food and water.  The Red Cross is normally very sensitive to the community needs around them, to boot.  However, sometimes, something will slip through the cracks that just looks wrong.  One of these things is […]

One of the most famous features of Matt Groening’s fictional town of Springfield is a strange one.  Springfield is home to a giant, perpetually burning tire fire.  I guess considering the town also has a nuclear plant that routinely leaks glowing green waste into the town’s water supply, the tire fire isn’t such a big […]

Gas prices don’t usually go down.  They go up.  Gas prices rose for decades, sometimes slowly, sometimes quickly, but always up on a long enough timeline.  Not long ago, $4 a gallon for gas was a very real proposition.  Nobody thought prices would go in the other direction, and yet… gas prices are going down […]

Fashion designers look for inspiration everywhere.  Some of it is pop culture, like Friday the 13th-inspired hoodies.  Other fashions are inspired by low culture, like deluxe Snuggies.  Some people turn to the culture of their past for inspiration, like the 8-bit video games they grew up on.  Italian fashion house Moschino is partnering with Nintendo […]
