The GoldenPalace.com -- an online internet gambling casino, paid $28,000 today for a half of a grilled cheese sandwich with one bite taken out of it.
Unreal, you say.
Even more unreal is that it is 10 years old and was sold on E-Bay this morning to the highest bidder.
The half sandwich reportedly has the image of the Virgin Mary on it.
I saw a closeup of it on Fox News Channel this morning and frankly the image looked more like Tallulah Bankhead to me -- but that is just one man's opinion.
The Bible teaches us that in times past God spoke to us through the prophets and through signs and miracles -- but today speaks to us through His completed word.
I often get ridiculed for believing in the Bible and placing my faith in Jesus Christ, that He is the son of God who died for my sins, was raised from the dead three days later and is now on His throne in Heaven, just waiting to come back and get me at the appropriated time.
A fairy tale I am told.
And one of those enlightened souls who would tell me that just spent $28,000 on a 10-year-old half of a grilled cheese sandwich with a bite missing from it, just because they believe God put an image of the Virgin Mary on it to speak to us.
If they had read the Bible they could have learned that only Jesus speaks to us today -- he does not do it by sending images but by speaking to the heards of those who truly seek Him -- and they would have saved $28,000.
Pardon me while I go chuckle.
