I wonder what God thinks about the person he's trying to "reach" selling his message on E-Bay. Of course, if he didn't want it sold on E-Bay, couldn't he stop it? So maybe he's trying to get his message across via the web on E-Bay. Hmmm…something to ponder.

Holy Pancake Auctioned On eBay
WPBF-TV | MSNBC.com
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. – A Port St. Lucie woman said she saw Jesus Christ in her breakfast. Marilyn Smith told WPBF News 25 that she was making breakfast on Sunday morning when she got a spiritual surprise: a faint image resembling Jesus and Mary on her pancake.
"I saw what looked like, possibly, what people may imagine Jesus would look like, or Moses," Smith said.
Smith's daughter, Dana Okane, told WPBF that she recognized the figures as soon as she saw them.
"Being a very spiritual person, which I am, when I saw that, I said, 'Jesus and Mary!'," Okane told WPBF.
Smith said she was making a batch of pancakes when one of them caught her eye. She said she was just about to put chocolate chips on it when she noticed the strange image on the cake.
Okane told WPBF that she thinks the image is a message from God.
"I think the message is extremely clear that the world had better clean up its act," Okane said.
When asked why she thought God would want to put a message on a pancake, Okane told WPBF reporter Amanda Burden, "Because it will get a lot of recognition."
Okane is now selling the holy cake on Internet auction site eBay with a starting bid of $35.
Okane said she thinks the cake is a miracle, but Smith is a bit more doubtful.
"Do I think that any nut will come along and pay a fortune for it like they did with the cheesecake or cheese sandwich? No, I hope not, because it really will eventually get really smelly and deteriorate," Smith told WPBF.
Smith and Okane said they plan to preserve the pancake for the next few days, then they will ship it off to the highest bidder.
"We used to say, 'Holy cow,' like everybody else, and after this happened, our new expression is, 'Holy pancake!'," Smith told WPBF.

The other day there was “Jesus in an x-ray” story going around.
Maybe Jesus prefers to spread his message via food and other inanimate objects – if I had omnipotent powers instead of curing cancer or stopping starvation I would use them to make stuffed animals cry and project and imbed my image in lip gloss.

My first priority would be to make my favorite sports teams win. I’d also pick my favorite actors and actresses and make sure they win all the awards.
THEN, if they don’t thank me I’d strike them with lightning.
Oh yeah…let me go get that bi*ch Kathy Griffin….

This is a joke right? There is no way that looks like anything other than a pancake.
Heather finally there is something you and I agree on.

Winning bid was $338.00. I hope it at least comes with a side order of bacon.
