Jesus In the Pizza

Jesus In The Pizza Clearly we see Jesus in the old pizza crust His image carved neatly in wall cracks Concrete thoughts for concrete steps Sidewalk images reflect his purity I could swear I saw Him squinting at me From a grapefruit I squeezed this morning My eyes were so sore I cried Was it by accident that juice hurts Cracks in the mind still need filling Concrete mix for concrete thoughts These are not UFO sightings Everyone knows God Sometimes Mary is there in the potato chips In clouds and even nature Back to the pizza back to the womb I'm still hungry to tell the truth There is always room for food Food for thought and pizza images *Authors note: No disrespect for God. I'm sure He has a sense of humor. If not, I am in a world of trouble. There will be no waiting in line, hiding behind cracks in the wall or inside a pizza at the end of time.

Hi Anne- Lise, It is so nice hearing from you. So true. Hope everything is good with you. I still like God more. It is a less fattening experience....I think.... Take care. Earl

God works in mysterious ways, his wonders to perform. He used a donkey to talk to Balaam, a worm and vine to speak to Jonah, as well. I feel sure he got your attention through the pizza and grapefruit. I was amazed at your truth in L. 12, "Everyone knows God." He evidences himself through creation daily, I see him these days in the sunrises but also in the bees that make the honey I love. Thanks for the ponderings.
