Jesus Potatoes



Here are two pics of Jesus in/on potato products.

Here is the top pic's story:

Pastor Renee Brewster and her husband Bishop Winston Brewster are a very spiritual couple. But the site of their savior in a potato has reinvigorated their faith and their desire to help others.
"That's Jesus on the Cross. Just looking at it I don't have to convince," said Renee.
Renee says she had been looking for an excuse to get out of making potato salad. "I was hesitant about making the potato salad because Sister Frankie makes the potato salad at church and I said lord if it's not for me to make potato salad then send me a sign."...
Let's cut to the chase: How was the potato salad?
Pastor Brewster froze the heart of that potato bearing Jesus. The rest was used to make the potato salad served during their weekly rescue mission.
How was that potato salad? "It was good. It was the best you ever made...it was almost as good as Sister Frankie's," said Bishop Brewster.


Wonder what Sister Frankie's secret is? Maybe she used her Jesus potato instead of freezing it.

The other is a Lay's sour cream and onion potato chip:

Rosalie and Jerry Lawson of St. Petersburg, Florida found the image of Jesus Christ on a Lay's sour cream and onion potato chip. "I was down there by myself" in the TV room, she said. "I said, "Jerry, you've got to see this potato chip.”” "He said, "Yeah.' You know how guys are," she said. Then, Rosalie Lawson said, her husband suggested, "Well, we can't eat that."
She has shown photos of the chip to fellow churchgoers and to family members, all of whom have been amazed at the resemblance.
Of course, who knows what Jesus looks like?
"You only know what you think he looks like from pictures," said Rosalie Lawson, 55.


Does Jesus prefer Lays? What if he had eaten it? Is there forgiveness for that? Should we check our food for Jesus images before eating? Is this a sign? A miracle? Should we eat more potatoes? Fewer potatoes? Why not a fruit, like a pineapple, or a mango? Does he like Idaho best?

Important questions for sure...
