I recently came across www.visionsofjesuschrist.com, which has photos of miraculous manifestations of angels and saints and Jesus and stuff.  Yes, actual photos. 

Well, that might be overstating it a bit.  It's not like the Virgin showed up at Glamour Shots or something.

At what point does a miracle stop being a miracle, and start being simply bad housekeeping?

On Friday, April 21 (which, by the way, was a very prolific day for miracles, with three separate miraculous items going on auction), a woman put a coffee cup up for sale on eBay.  It seems that dried cocoa powder on the bottom of the cup formed the image of the holy family - Mary, Joseph, and little baby Jesus.

You know, if it weren't for GoldenPalace, many miraculous images would never be seen by anyone at all.  They would languish in a makeshift shrine in a garden toolshed or an old bathtub in the front yard, and the only people to see them would be motorists who saw some hand-painted plywood sign by the side of the road.  But now, thanks to the Internet and some PR buzz, GoldenPalace is bringing these miracles to the world. 

You almost have to wonder if GoldenPalace is being guided by some supernatural force that is using it to publicize its miraculous manifestations.  

GP's latest one is an image of the Virgin Mary that appeared on a piece of firewood. 

Jesus has made another appearance, this time on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno.  No, just kidding.  That would be ridiculous.  Actually, He has appeared in a piece of damaged drywall in a church, which seems much more logical.  And according to churchgoers, the drywall is performing miracles, including healing the blind.
