| A shell among many collected at North Carolina's Outer Banks in May |
The article at the bottom of the page features the photo shown to the right. Click on it to see it larger. What do you see?
What you see is the test. Do you see a random pattern of colors and lines and textures? Or do you see a particular image intentionally placed?
The printed article is titled "Jesus in a seashell? Graham woman shows off image of Christ." On the web, it's titled "Sharing the light: Image in beachcombing find illuminates."
When the shell collector's father first examined the shell, he thought there was a flame in the middle of it.
He handed it to his wife (the collector's mother), who had just glanced at a picture of Jesus she keeps in the living room.

| Her picture of Jesus (detail) |
She saw Jesus just as he is depicted in her picture, with a white robe and looking slightly toward the right in the center of the shell. She handed it back to her husband.She doesn't seem to be ready for adult content.
"He looked again, and he saw it," she said.
When she put her picture of Jesus beside the shell, the image seemed even clearer.
"I guess you have to be a believer to see it," she said....
It makes perfect sense to her that her husband first saw the flame of a candle inside the shell.
"Any way you look at it, he's the light of the world," she said.
What about her husband?
Depends on whether he was just being agreeable with his wife. Might be. After all, to her, he was the light of the world (going by "her husband's" textual proximity to "he's the light," at any rate)—a stellar spouse indeed. The world might be more agreeable by half with that sort of concord among spouses.
And think of a world not only more peaceful but also more rational, in which the spouses being agreed with are the ones who are ready for adult content.
