God is everywhere
Mr and Mrs Potato head go on vacation, originally uploaded by Tigereon- back from the dead.
Or some people would have you believe. It's true - some people see the divine in a beautiful nature scene, or a transcendent experience, or another person. Others find it in more pedestrian things. Like, say, a potato chip:
Amanda Biezad contacted ABC 23 after she found what she described as a cross seared into a potato chip she was about to eat.
The cross has been the symbol of hope for Christians around the world for more than 2,000 years. From church steeples to the message of Calvary, now a bag of Lay's potato chips could be added to the list for one Bakersfield woman.
Biezad said she has never seen anything quite like this before but is not ready to call it a miracle just yet.
"I don't know, it's either divine inspiration or some random rouge person that decided to stick it into the bag of chips, I don't know, but I think it's cool," said Biezad.
Biezda added that she usually pays attention to what she eats and is glad that she didn't take the next bite.
If you were to click on that story, you'd see that yep, there is definitely a cross in that potato chip. A malformed, wobbly cross; really more of a cross-like shape. To her credit, the woman is not declaring it a miracle, but I am still skeptical.
Did God will that potato chip to have a cross in it? Or, does God will all things, and therefore this chip is just in the natural order of things? I, of course, am more of the school that the chip is a coincidence - billions of chips are made every year, and very few have religious symbols cooked into them. So, it would be expected that a cross-shaped chip would show up every now and then.
I, personally, am way more impressed by that world's longest french fry I wrote about last week.
