I found it?? Remember that bumper sticker?

So, I am walking home from my volunteer time at the children's dental clinic.  Photos to follow, and Denny comes driving by and offers to give me a ride home ( I walk pretty much every where these days)  

I am settling into the seat, and taking a swig of my bottled water;  when Denny says, " I saw Jesus today!"   I swear, I coughed and choked until the water I was drinking came out my nose and partially covered the windshield.  I look at him in disbelief, I mean we are not heathens, but we are not bible thumpers either.

"On the rock" says he.  "The rock in the shrine at the end of the Malacon" Denny and I have studied that rock in its pretty nitch many times on our morning walk, people come from all around to see it, light candles, bringing flowers and just pray. We have never seen any thing imprinted in that silly rock.  "No way!"  I say "Yes" Denny says "We have just been there when the sun was wrong."  Sure enough, he drove me down the street to prove his point.  I wiped the slobber off the windshield and there it was,   I didn't even have to get out of the car. We came home and looked at the photo I had taken a month ago, and had not paid attention to, and there really is, an image of a bearded man! 



The Children's Dental Clinic, is run by Snow Birds that live here in the winter.  They have gotten a group of volunteer Dentists and assistants, from a group   named STRETCH,  to come every year and examine and treat the children of the village. This is their 6 or 7th year.  They saw and treated over 800 children in the 3 weeks they were here!  I sure hope the people of this little town realize and appreciate the great gift that is given to their children every year.  I worked with exam charting and could see marked improvement in the dental history of these kids.  Some charts of 4 years ago filled with cavities to a no cavity exam 2-3 years in a row!  WOW .  The equipment is probably out dated, but it does look and work like a real dentist treatment room.  The exam room is out side with the kids in plastic patio chairs leaning back into the exam dentists lap. Enjoy the photos...

Now if I can just buy some small bottles and sell Holy water at the shrine, we will have our house built in no time! Will have to come up with a catchy label...Humm.  I better quit while I am ahead.
