Image of Jesus in drywall heals the sick
Check out the video at the link. Not quite as inspiring as Our Lady of the Underpass or the image of Jesus in the tree in a guy's front yard, but then God works in mysterious ways.



http://cbs4.com/topstories/local_story_081155418.html

The Triumph Learning and Worship Center for Life in Saraland, Alabama was flooded by Hurricane Katrina. Some of the drywall in the building buckled into what they say is in image of Jesus on the cross.

The church hung a picture frame up around the mark. People line up every day to touch it, and several people claim they've been healed.

"Many have been healed," said Pastor Ella Roberts. "One young man that belonged here was scheduled to go on dialysis. "The next week, he laid his hand there on the wall on the image, went to the doctor and they said they can't see where, why, how."

Church members say miracles occur when you touch the wall. "From touching that, my eyesight began to clear up completely," said Benita Bogan.

8. Looks to me like someone hocked a lugey on the wall.
"From touching that, my eyesight began to clear up completely," said Benita Bogan.

(So I guess it doesn't look like the Sheetrock Savior any more?)

13. Interesting quote from a minister at the church
"It's like God is trying to show people he's real," said Marlette Holt, a minister at the Triumph Learning and Worship Center for Life. "I feel he's trying to open even the simplest minds."

14. "From touching that, my eyesight began to clear up completely,"
A pair of glasses to fit a narrow minded person, would have fixed her up better!

Opticalrectitus is what it sounds like the poor thang had!

27. I don't see anything that resembles Jesus in that.
Usually, I can at least see what they're referring to. This time, not at all.

34. I like the idea that there's a Jesus somewhere....
In another dimension, or state, or heaven, whatever, looking in/at/down at us, snickering, calling the old man over as he remarks in disbelief, "Man, these poor twits are just too much...."

36. There is the Drywaller's Prayer, but I think this may be different
You know the Drywaller's Prayer, right? I hear it many times a day.

"Jesus Christ, this shit is heavy!"

Drywallers are a religious bunch.
