The Lord works in mysterious ways.
Even through an eggplant, perhaps.
Yesterday, Felicia Teske of Boothwyn was slicing a pear-shaped purple veggie purchased at a local produce stand when she noticed the seeds formed a word:
GOD.
"It's definitely there," said her husband, Paul.
Unlike other claims, you don't have to strain your brain this time, he said.
(You may have heard, for example, about the Jesus in a chihuahua's ear or the Virgin Mary in the grease stain of a pizza pan.)
"There's no imagination here," he said. "We haven't altered this at all."
So, is it a sign?
"Well, that's quite an interesting question," he said. His wife, an office manager for an insurance broker, is switching jobs, so maybe it's a sign that she's making right decision.
She is a practicing Catholic, he said.
Offhand, the discovery does seem quite a fluke.
"If she would have cut it one way or the other, it may not have spelled that out," he said.
Or, if just a fraction different, it might have spelled "GOP."
Then it might have been an omen Karl Rove was about to quit.
"I'm not sure If there is a message here but God made the eggplant, He formed the seeds and He guided my wife to cut the eggplant where His name would appear," he emailed along with a couple of pictures.
For now, the Teskes are keeping the heaven-sent slice safely stored, while they ponder the meaning ... and whether to sell the sucker on eBay.
