Holy Flapjacks!!

It's gotta be a sign. Jesus just appeared on a pancake again. This time in Ohio. The chronicling of such instances of divine intervention into our dietary business is hard to keep up. There have been so many of them.

In just the half-hour I have for this, I've uncovered the the following examples and it's my gut feeling that I'm just scratching the surface. It's far-reaching with profound significance.

Listing the occurances as I am, I will try to thread this all together.

October, 2005 - Grand Rapids, Michigan: The image of the Pope appeared on Myrna Kincaid's pancake.

Easter, 2005 - Toledo, Ohio: Jesus appeared on a perogie cooked by one Donna Lee as she was preparing Easter Dinner.

November, 2004 - Virgin Mary 10 yr old grilled Cheese Sandwich hits E-bay.

April 19, 1998 - Bacalar, Mexico: The Virgin Mary appeared on a Mexican cake.

October 1977 - Lake Arthur, New Mexico: Jesus showed up on a tortilla that Maria Rubio was preparing for her husband, Eduardo.

After careful thought, my conclusion is two-pronged: Eat healthier and turn the burner down.

I know these things to be true because on election morning, Paul Martin's face appeared on my piece of burnt toast. This was neither a sign nor a prophecy. Just a pleasing little irony.
