Also one asks, in this day of cyber-magic-trickery: are they real?<\/p>\n

At least some are, we believe. You discern.<\/p>\n

This one, according to a website called Viral Believer<\/a><\/span>, was taken in a cave in Honduras during a mission trip to Vera Cruz, Copan. Allegedly, there was no light shining into the part of the cave those who photographed it were in and was recorded on a basic flip phone camera. “It is truly beautiful!” says the site. And it is.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Pinterest and social media are loaded with such images, some impressive, some less so. There are not always many details.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Is this a tic of the\u00a0camera<\/em>?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Out of incense?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Below<\/em>, one we’ve had before, a week before an ill young man passed.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This has the energy of the real thing.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The aurora borealis is famous for such wondrous images.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

God uses what He will.<\/p>\n

Below<\/em>, again, one we’ve had before — intervention in\u00a0 the case of a vehicle (10,000 pounds worth of truck axel) that toppled onto a mechanic, miraculously sparing him as if something was holding the weight up.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And this is?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Your choice.<\/p>\n

Angels in the flare of massive Australian wildfire?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Oh, and a botanical garden in British Columbia.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

On stage with the Christian “Promise Keepers”?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Says Viral Believer (about the above<\/em>): “A Baptist minister, Miles McPherson, is said to have used his iPad to photograph the men leading the worship when the light-imbued form was captured. In disbelief, the pastor took another photo, and again, the angelic light appeared beside the men.”<\/p>\n

Angels in Athos, Greece?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Well, sure: light can play all kinds of games — but who are we to say Heaven doesn’t form that light, shaping it as Heaven may?<\/p>\n
