Doorway To Heaven
The Bowman family of Yucaipa, California, were days away from giving their two unruly dogs to the pound when an image they think looks like Jesus Christ appeared on the plastic flap of their pet door. A combination of dirt, claw marks, and the manufacturer’s logo, the miraculous image was enough to make them change their minds and keep the dogs. At least as long as the image remains intact.

Wooden You Know It
Kevin Morgan of Cheatham County, Tennessee, bought a piece of Bethlehem Olive wood from Jerusalem so he could make a wooden pen. It’s a hobby of his. He was about to toss a scrap of it in the fire when his wife saw the likeness of the Virgin Mary, hands clasped in prayer. Morgan says he’ll consider selling the piece if the price is right, which means it will at least have to be more than the $4 he paid for the whole piece of wood in the first place.

There’s Jesus In Them Thar Hills
Burton Klatt was prospecting with his brother near Wikenburg, Arizona, when he found a funny looking small gold nugget. “I saw an image of a horse,” he says of the nugget that weighs less than an ounce and is smaller than a B-B. But when he brought it home, his wife Carole saw something different — the Virgin Mary holding baby Jesus. After keeping it to themselves for a year, they decided to share it with others. “I don’t see how anyone could think we’re nuts because they could look at it and they could see it,” Burton says, even though it does look a bit like a mother and child from the unreleased sequel, Saviour of the Planet of the Apes.

Hello? Is Mary There?
When 2-year-old Rachel Casiano of Hawthorne, FL, put her sneakers and her mother’s cell phone in the microwave, it was only a matter of seconds before Mom opened the door and put a stop to it. The sneakers were fine but it was too late for the cell phone. It was singed and had a bubble burned into the screen. The family noticed that it looks like the Virgin Mary. Jan Zuccarell, Rachel’s great-grandmother, thinks it’s a sign from God. Her son Ben wants to sell it on eBay. Hopefully if it rings they’ll answer it.

Mary On The Half Shell
About a year ago, Shirley McVane of Burbank, Illinois, received a gift from her grandson — two tiny baby turtles. Recently, she noticed that one of them had begun to develop what she believes to be an image of the Virgin Mary on the underside of its shell. She promptly renamed the turtle Mary, and of course its tank mate became Joseph. Hopefully there will be a baby turtle soon. I wonder what she’ll name it.
