Mississippi Man Spots Jesus Among The Nuts
Edited on Sat Mar-13-10 01:34 AM by moobu2
Flora, MS, United States (AHN) - A Mississippi man claims to have seen the likeness of Jesus Christ in his pecan nut tree.
Timothy Vincent reportedly said the image of the Son of God appeared after a strange woodpecker that was pecking at his tree flew away.
Although friends and neighbors have tried to convince him to build a shrine for people to visit the image and pray.
Vincent is content with letting the image watch over him and his neighbors for right now.

L-i-n-k





I cant see it.

3. Mississippians are a little crazy, but calling them all Nuts is a little rude.

15. You're right - it's so obvious once you know where to look.
When I was searching for it I thought I saw a skull, a monkey head, a winking Jerry Garcia, several types of sexual organs and butt cracks etc... Mr. Vincent wouldn't have seen it if not for that strange woodpecker.

See if you can find the Jesus in this tree.

21. You shoulda had some bacon too
For the Full Meal Deal:


...Mr Elles, a cashier for Halifax Bank, said: "I fell asleep cooking some bacon and it had burned this face onto the pan, it's some kind of miracle.

"If it wasn't for the smoke of the bacon burning this onto the pan it could have been a very bad situation, perhaps someone's looking over me.

"My housemates and I had a few beers earlier in the evening I thought I would snack before going to bed and as it was cooking I decided to take a rest on the couch.

"When I woke up about an hour later the room was full of smoke.

"Luckily we have an electric hob so I just turned off the heat, but then I lifted up the bacon and there was JC looking back at me.

27. Wow, that took me a good solid minute to find; usually they're a little more obvious.
Of course, you could picture that as anyone's face, male or female, but who else is gonna appear in a tree except Jesus? The human mind never fails to astonish me with its ability to find patterns in randomness.

29. The first time I
opened this thread, I stared at the tree for about 10 minutes without seeing Jesus.

Upon my return just now, voila, there he was, plain as day! It's a miracle!

I once found a vampire in my parents' knotty pine breakfast room paneling, but no one else could see him. When at first I couldn't see Jesus in the tree bark, I thought OH NO! I can see vampires that no one else can, but I can't see Jesus, when everyone else can? OH NO! I must be one of those devil-worshipping atheists! But now I'm okay. I see Jesus.

Wait. Where'd he go again?
