A New Mexico family is counting its blessings after it discovered an image of the Virgin Mary on their living room wall, reported KOAT-TV in Albuquerque, N.M.

Donna Quintana, of Meadow Lake, N.M., said it’s a much-needed blessing that appeared right before her family’s eyes Christmas Eve. Her husband saw it first.

“He noticed an image there. He said, ‘That looks like an image of the Virgin Mary,'” Quintana said.

She said the image appeared during a home construction mishap. Quintana said her husband was putting a special texture on the wall. The spray bottle he was using broke twice, which meant the texture couldn’t be wiped off fast enough. This is how it dried.

“I feel like it’s telling us something, like it’s protecting us,” Quintana said. “It’s like a miracle.”

Maybe its just telling you to get a new spray bottle. Later that day, The Virgin Mary was also spotted on the dashboard of their El Camino.

    Life must be grand in New Mexico if this is news. There’s a dust bunny under my bed KOAT-TV can do a feature on next.

    By every definition of the word this is mental illness.

    Catholicism preaches the Immaculate Conception and thus preventing her from ever having the stain of sin. Yet, she appears everywhere in stains.

    Ironic if it would actually be toxic mold…

    It looks like a small trailer tongue viewed from the bottom. I feel all tingly now. I think I’ll have to go and buy a new bass boat after this. After all, it’s what God wants for me.

    it looks like a spoon standing on end to me…

    my spoon is too big!!

    HA! Had to do a re-read to see it. I guess I’m an eggnog.

  10. John Paradox says:

    *I* am the eggnog

    goo goo ga joob

    J/P=?

  11. bobbo says:

    I’m drinking eggnog as I type this. What exactly is the blessing that such visions deliver?

    Much more practical to see it as a message and buy that new bass boat. The lord is all about fish afterall.

    The only thing this bunch is counting is the donation’s of 10 dollar bills flung their way by other idiot’s who believe this nonsense.

    [somewhat off topic]

    I saw a perfect picture of a new Triton bass boat with the giant Mercury 300 Verado 6 cyl. in the clouds today.

    It looked exactly like me landing a 13 pounder. Lordy, I’m a believer!

    “I don’t want a new bass boat, I want friends that have a new bass boat!”

    Dream on—.

    HAHAHA!

    If this is the best image that God can do then I would start looking for another God! LOL

    I would at least expect a God that could create the universe to be able to render a glowing full colour detailed image – maybe even in 3D – other than a bowling pin with a divot knocked out of it looking thing.

    Oh well… 😉

    Cheers

    Hear ye, hear ye!!! For a limited time, you can sign up for my Pilgrimage Tour 2008. I’ll be chartering a jet, and we’ll be flying all over visiting these Virgin Mary and Jesus images that keep turning up in odd places. Sign up soon, although even if we’re full up, I’ll still be selling shirts that say “I wanted to see the Virgin Mary, but all I got was this lousy T-shirt!” But really, you don’t wait until it’s too late.

    #8 – there is no spoon

    btw, that “miracle” picture looks like one of the retard kids in that family was drawing on the wall

  18. Gasbag says:

    So how long before this thing is put up on ebay?

  19. Mister Catshit says:

    I saw a picture representing the Virgin Mary on my computer screen. So I scrolled on down the page to get it off.

    I know this blog likes to make fun of these primitive Christians who take solace in something like this.

    But, c’mon. At least be fair in your teasing!

    Is this kind of sign-taking any less valid than the horoscope run in your local newspaper every day?

    How come you don’t relentlessly mock those people, even though horoscopes are absolutely as goofy?

  21. Mister Catshit says:

    Those who follow “horoscopes” with faith are goofy. They are also lacking in intelligence and generally have dirty underwear. They have been seen picking their noses in public.

    I was just pointing out the double standard. There are all kinds of goofy people around but this blog way disproportionately picks on the Christians.
