On the radio this morning there was a piece about a woman in Massachusetts who had an image of Jesus appear on her iron over the holiday weekend.

It reminded me of a story I heard this summer about a family in Texas who claim the Virgin Mary appeared in bird droppings on the family’s truck.

I don’t know about you but those seem like fairly desperate measures for a deity to take to get a little attention.

It then occurred to me that you never hear about Buddha making a surprise appearance in someone’s freezer. Or Confucius popping up in some cornbread in the midwest.

And what about you, Moses? Hannukah’s coming. What better palette for the prophet of the Chosen people than a piping hot latke?

I’ll even put out a little extra applesauce to make it worth your while.
