The description is as follows:
I am selling my home in Beautiful San Antonio Texas. We were remodeling the kitchen to include stainless steel appliances but have not finished the island as of yet. We have had several interruptions since March of 2006 when we started the remodeling of the kitchen.
This is why I am selling this house:My husband, my son and I and a friend of ours started demoing the kitchen for remodeling in March 1st and 2nd. We did the remodel or starting of it Mar 3rd and 4th. On the 5th I slammed my hand in a door and couldn t do anymore remodeling (my nail fell off and it was very yucky) and Cris went back to work so we didn't finish the whole kitchen....just the area around the refrigerator got done. On Monday the March 6th I had to get blood work done again (which looking back at the calendar was Easter Orthodox Lent Began) I had fasted the night before and prayed to god to heal me and have my blood work turn out ok--because I had my last blood work to take to determine if I was going to have to ask the doctor for a liver biopsy or not.(the results usually take 2-4 weeks or so) Then later in March we were side tracked to Joe's retirement in Biloxi so we saved to do that instead. Family comes first. When we returned, and during this time with a bandaged finger, I tried to paint out the surrounding of the fridge. The color was a creamy beige. It didn't stick right because we used MDF wood and it was kilzed so hard to absorb the paint. Anyways I tried this water stain coloring technique on top of that, and I liked the outcome and I kept it. That was early spring by the time I could get my hand (right) to carry a paint brush).
Anyway then it happened: They appeared at Easter time. Ist was the 1/2 face on April 15th . Then the 2nd one the full head on Easter April 16th. I ran and got my husband and showed him and he saw the 1/2 face but really couldn't say about the head--so that very day I got some lacquer and painted it on thinking this is going to disappear if I don't lock it in somehow. I have told and showed it to some people in my family (mom and 2 sisters: Baby sister kind of saw it and eldest couldn't see it at all) but mostly I kept it to myself knowing that noone would believe it. It's funny how some people see it right away and some can't see it at all. We had tried to take pictures of them before but they didn't come out. I started to pray to the head of Jesus and asked for my cure. On May 2nd I had to go get my test results...I couldn't believe it... I am totally cured and have been since then. I was distracted from them because I still had to get the kitchen finished, so we had a garage sale--I had mentioned the apparitions to a customer and she came in to look and said it was a miracle. She noticed I had statues on top of my fridge of the Virgin Mary and Virgin de San Juan but no Jesus up there. She asked if I was a a Catholic. I said yes, then she said she was too at one time and had converted to Christian, and that maybe Jesus was trying to tell me to pray more to him instead of these idols. While we were looking at the fridge we found another one on the other side of the fridge--hence the 3rd picture/vision--she said it looks like when Jesus went to the rock to sit down and pray because you see his robe and arms and his knees are in a sitting position and leaning on something. Now I know this all sounds like bull, --the 1/2 faced ----on Dec 12th started crying--this was Virgen de Guadalupe Day-- my husband and I had just finished breakfast and noticed them, we tried to wake up my son and he just didn't want to come look--so again we tried to take pictures of it and this time we got them and we noticed too that he was crying--why I don't know but he is crying in this picture. The other two didn't change at all--Anyway Jesus cured me after I found these and I am profoundly grateful. But I really think he wants this shared with all of you. I called a very good friend of mine, she is very religious, and she explained all these dates were very important as far as Catholic religious days go.
Why am I selling the house you may ask? Even though I have tried to finish the kitchen (not to mention our bathrooms too) I don't want to be the one to have to paint them over when I sell it, which is what I was advised I would have to do to sell it and was doing in the first place to sell this house. I don't have the heart to finish it or to paint it. So if you want a house that has Jesus apparitions in it and want to finish the remodeling, then read on, this house is for you.
The home is located in a quiet mostly retired military neighborhood. It has recently opened a Elementary school with front door school bus service. This is attracting new families with children and are fixing up the neighborhood beautifully. It is a quiet little oasis in this beautiful city. This is a 3 bedroom, 2 full baths, 2 car garage single story with cathedral ceilings and beautiful hand made saltillo tile through out living areas. Beautiful arches in formal dining at entry that give you that South Texas flair or Tuscan farm house charm with a cabana gold paint wash on the walls that give it that rich feel. The the kitchen is painted in a barn red with antique green and beige cabinets, second eating area and living room also with cathedral ceilings have a rich mocha color that warms the rooms. Their is a stone fireplace in the living room that has been upgraded to gas logs. The back yard is very tropical with a 22 ft. round wading pool thats just 3 1/2 feet deep. We have a deck that we dress out for summer with wrought iron chairs, table and umbrella and in winter we transform it with a fire pit in the middle of the deck. The house has very beautiful beige stone work all four sides. The home has been well maintained but as is with older homes it does need some repairs. It has a new gas heater, gas water boiler, new GE Profile electric stove and dishwasher. The laundry room and pantry right off the kitchen has a dryer with a choice or electric or gas connection for the dryer. We have some laminate flooring to finish in both bedrooms that we will leave behind for completion of the two bedrooms. It really is just a time thing to finish the work. The sides of the stove need to be finished and I was going to use butcher block for the counter top replacement here. All the white cabinet doors need to be replaced to match the newly painted ones and then stained in the same waterstain technique to match. The counter tops also need to be replaced, I was going to do a flush to wall vertigo green granite and then do a glass green tile back splash around the prep food area and sink basin area. The double glass sliding door needs to be replaced with a double side light french door that will lead out to the florida room. The bathrooms need to be updated with new cabinets and fixtures.
1/28/2007 I am still keeping the exact address private, although some people have figured it out and asked to take a peak and say a prayer. Who am I to deny them. I too have a family member in the hospital and am praying daily for his recovery of liver cancer. All your prayers are welcome. God Bless you all.
TERMS: A $1000.00 non-refundable deposit is required to be paid immediately at end of sale. Buyer to pay all closing costs. Buyer is accepting home in "as is" condition. If reserve is met I will remove the listing. If the remainder of the balance is received with in the ten days then I will apply the $1000.00 to the balance.

Seller has the right to refuse the bid even if the reserve is met. Seller has the right to cancel the sale of the home at any time before or after auction is over without accepting any monies from any persons. All inquiries will be sent through eBay and all monies will be handle same.
Look, I don't know why he appeared to me, My mom says he is trying to tell me something. I am actually a little fearful of it. I think I'm very lucky to have had them help me and my family but I really think they need to be seen and I am just not that person to manage them. My husband actually wanted to redo the kitchen cabinet again (he built it by the way) and take this one with us and that would solve the whole matter. But it doesn't, it still doesn't get to be shared. So if I leave and whoever wants to let people in to see it and share it then its theres to do with what they want to.
God Bless and Good Luck

I am so completely disgusted!
How many wars in our history have been religous wars? I just don't understand why people can't get along. I'm guessing it's just plain ignorance. How do you educate the world though? It makes me sick to my stomach to read articles like the one below.
Bodies burnt in open after Nigeria riots kill 146

ONITSHA, Nigeria, Feb 23 (Reuters) - Christian youths burned the corpses of Muslims on Thursday on the streets of Onitsha in southeastern Nigeria, the city worst hit by religious riots that have killed at least 146 people across the country in five days.
Christian mobs, seeking revenge for the killings of Christians in the north, attacked Muslims with machetes, set fire to them, destroyed their houses and torched mosques in two days of violence in Onitsha, where 93 people died.
"We are very happy that this thing is happening so that the north will learn their lesson," said Anthony Umai, a motorcycle taxi rider, standing close to where Christian youths had piled up the corpses of 10 Muslims and were burning them.
Dozens more corpses had been thrown into the back of pick-up trucks by security services overnight, residents said.
Uncertainty over Nigeria's political future is aggravating regional, ethnic and religious rivalries in Africa's most populous nation and top oil exporter.
Elections are due next year and many Nigerians believe President Olusegun Obasanjo and some state governors will try to stay on after eight years in power. The prospect angers those who want their own ethnic or regional blocs to have their turn.
Militants in the oil-producing Niger Delta have waged a three-month campaign of attacks and kidnappings, which has cut exports and driven up world oil prices. One of their demands is greater control over their region and its resources.
There was no fighting in Onitsha on Thursday but Emeka Umeh, of human rights group the Civil Liberties Organisation, called it "the peace of the graveyard".
Some charred corpses were still lying on the streets and hundreds of Muslim men, women and children fled the city crammed into open-top trucks for fear of more killings. Thousands more were hiding in army barracks and police stations.
Umeh said most of the bodies his group counted were Hausa, but some Ibo were killed too. The Hausa are the main ethnic group in northern Nigeria and most are Muslim, while the Ibo are dominant in the southeast and almost all are Christian.
FUNERALS
It is impossible to verify the exact number of deaths but Red Cross figures from all the different cities give a toll of 146. Local authorities decline to give death tolls.
In northern Maiduguri, where the Christian Association of Nigeria says 50 Christians were killed in a weekend riot that began as a protest against cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad, tensions were high during several Christian funeral masses.
The Red Cross said at least 21 people died in Maiduguri and 9,000 were driven from their homes.
A crowd of Christian youths broke away from the burial of one of the victims, a Catholic priest, and ran shouting through the streets before police dispersed them.
At the funeral of 13 children from two families who were burnt in their houses, mourners wailed as police stood by.
News of the Maiduguri killings set off the bloodletting in Onitsha, and tit-for-tat violence spread on Wednesday to Enugu, another southeastern city, where seven people were killed.
Nigeria's 140 million people are divided about equally between Muslims in the north and Christians in the south, but sizeable religious minorities live in both regions.
Thousands of people have been killed in religious violence since the restoration of democracy in 1999. Killings in one part of the country often spark reprisals elsewhere.
The triggers for riots that killed at least at least 46 people, mostly Christians, in northern Maiduguri, Bauchi and Katsina, were different, but religious and secular leaders have linked them to political tensions.
In Bauchi, an alleged blasphemy started the trouble, while in Katsina it was a constitutional review that many see as an attempt to keep Obasanjo in power.
The constitution bars Obasanjo, a Christian from the southwest, from seeking a third term in 2007 and he says he will uphold the charter. But he has declined to comment on a powerful movement to amend the constitution to allow him to stay.
Maiduguri and Katsina are both hosting public hearings on constitutional reform this week which many Nigerians believe are geared towards furthering the so-called third term agenda. (Additional reporting by Estelle Shirbon in Abuja, Ibrahim Mshelizza in Maiduguri and Tume Ahemba in Lagos)

Special Post
Another Special post for someone on Post Secret...WOW!OK seriously...if this god is all accepting and all that jazz, wouldn't you think that any worship would appease him?
I would be willing to bet this is some poor soul out there hoping that another religion will make their life better.
Don't put all your faith in something as inconclusive as religion. It's not life changing or improving...you need to work on yourself.

Another special auction on ebay

I found a snowboard that had what looked like bumper stickers made into it. One of them said "Jesus died for our sins so we might as well take advantage of it."
I thought it was hilarious and perfect to post here ;)

Starving woman curses God, dies in her sleep Thu Jan 26, 11:41 AM ET
A starving Kenyan woman placed a powerful tribal curse on God, accusing him of sending famine, and died in her sleep, local newspapers said Thursday.
The woman from eastern Kenya's drought-ravaged Kangundo district decided to invoke a dreaded oath from the Kamba community, famed for its potent witchcraft, media reports said.
"Whoever brought this famine, let him perish," the woman chanted, striking a cooking pot with a stick.
"She accomplished the feat at 10 a.m. and waited for the results, but God's wrath struck at night. She died peacefully in her sleep," the Kenya Times newspaper said.
Poor rains for three years running have left more than 3.5 million Kenyans on the edge of starvation, prompting President Mwai Kibaki to declare the drought a national disaster.
***I just find it hard to believe that it was an act of god that this woman died. i mean seriously...if she was starving, couldn't she have died from starvation?

myspace
A person on my friends list on myspace.com posted the following to the bulletin board.
When Jesus was on the cross..... You were on his mind!
Repost this with the title "Myspace 2" or you are denying him
In the bible it says "if you deny me before man, I will deny you before my father
Can I say it??? Jesus Christ! I cannot stand it when people put this guilt on others. Stop pushing your faith on me!!!!

It has been confirmed, Organized Religion OUT!
You fit in with: Spiritualism Your ideals are mostly spiritual, but in an individualistic way. While spirituality is very important in your life, organized religion itself may not be for you. It is best for you to seek these things on your own terms. 60% spiritual. 40% reason-oriented. | |

NunBun Missing
A cinnamon bun that resembles the late Mother Teresa has been stolen from a US cafe.
The owner of the Bongo Java coffee shop arrived to find that the famous pastry had been taken from the shop in Nashville, Tennessee.
The "Nun Bun" was preserved and put in a glass case at the shop, where it was discovered by a customer in 1996 reports BBC online.
The shop sold T-shirts, prayer cards and mugs with the bun's image until Mother Teresa wrote a letter asking the sales be stopped, before her death in 1997.
Mr Bernstein said the thief "went right for the bun. Unfortunately I think it's somebody who wanted to take it to destroy it."
OK...So i found this article on Yahoo Oddly Enough a few weeks ago. I mean really a bun that looks like Mother Theresa...can the fanatics be anymore insane?!?!?!
