About 15 years ago I bought a small warehouse to store my many records and other collectibles in. When I got it, it was in very bad shape, the roof leaked and the walls, ceiling and floor needed extensive repairs. I dreaded thinking about all the work I would have to do to get it fixed, but I wanted to do it! I've been a roofer for nearly 30 years and still do it today, and felt I was getting old and needed something else to carry me into my retirement years besides doing roofing. With revived energy, I put on a new roof which stopped the leaks, and I fixed the walls and the floors. Next, I got my records desk. I did it all in one day, plus a year or so...
Taking a break and sitting down and looking at my handiwork, I was looking up at the celing and there was a big stain right to the left of my desk. I'm thinking (something I do once in a while), to use lots of stain killer and to paint the ceiling blue. About that time one of my daughter's walked in and said: "Hey Dad!", and I said Hey back. (I have two daughters.) Next, she looked up at the stain on the ceiling and said: "Look, it's the Virgin Mary and she's holding the Baby Jesus!" Then she said goodbye Dad and she left.
After she left, I saw it. It's just like the painting, and there is more to see in the stain. You just need to " Look"! After that happened, I decided to never fix the ceiling. That's my story and I'm sticking with it! I feel this stain on the ceiling is a miracle image and that all my Virgin Vinyl Records are being watched over.
