I’ve thought the same thing before. I really enjoy your storytelling abilities, Mary.

If I were Jesus and wanted people to see my face in smoke or whatever, I guess it wouldn’t help if I showed up looking like some Jewish dude they wouldn’t recognize. Otherwise people would be like, “Hey, Adam Sandler just appeared on my toast!” That probably wouldn’t be very helpful.

Thanks Jo and Paisley. Always enjoy hearing from you. When it comes to “winning them all”, no, I don’t expect to. However, just as my long ago friend and mentor Doctor Russell, won a point or two with me, pehaps I will cause someone here and there to understand that such things as faces peering out at us from shadows cast by smoke from a fire, are not signs from heaven. I doubt there isn’t a person alive who hasn’t enjoyed picking out faces and forms of animals in the art gallery floating above us in the form of ever-changing clouds on a bright sunny day.

If it makes you feel any better, back when I was in Catholic school, the nuns actually pointed out the very same thing…that Jesus was a Jew and would more likely be dark-complected, etc. and not like all the pictures you see. I was surprised they, of all people, would say so.
