C: Coincidence or Sign...I've noted many instances in this blog about what I believe to be signs from above...vs. just a pure coincidence. I do realize that my *God* senses are heightened, but I will now share yet another sign that gives me (and others) the chills.

In preparation for my viewing of the movie The Passion of the Christ, over the last two days, I've been reading the last few Chapters of each of the 4 Gospels. These Chapters detail the gathering for the Last Supper through the Crucifixion and Resurrection. Just this a.m., my normal daily reading of the Bible has me re-reading Matthew 26...the start of the Last Supper preparation.

As I read the 4 depictions of the Last Supper, I thought back on the picture/painting my grandmother had in her living room of the Last Supper. My brother now has that picture hanging in his dinning room. For a while now, I was thinking that would be a nice image to have in my dinning room as well. So, yesterday I searched the web for Last Supper images. I saw one by Da Vinci and read a bit about its restoration. Found a few sites that sell posters of it...then I moved on.

This morning, I turned on the TV while getting ready for work...which I do maybe once a month at most. I walk into the bathroom and kind of hear someone say something about Da Vinci...so I run back into the bedroom and see that the Today Show is broadcasting from Milan, Italy, before the Olympics this w/e, and Katie Couric is talking about Da Vinci paintings...moments later she's inside an old monastery or convent talking about this large image painted on the wall...it's Da Vinci's Last Supper. She proceeds to talk about the restoration, it's meaning etc.

You decide...pure coincidence that I'm reading about it, looking for it's image and then it's shown to me live on TV?
