So it was no surprise to me when she <s>said<\/s> insisted that I hang a rosary on the rear-view mirror of my car. &nbsp;I did it just to make her happy. A couple of months later, I changed my mind and took it off. She came at me with a determination that could not be matched. I don&#8217;t remember what her reasons were, but all I know is that at the end of her <s>speech<\/s> tyrade, I hung the pink rosary bank on my rear-view mirror.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">It&#8217;s not as if I had a problem with hanging the rosary on my rear-view mirror. Rather, I felt like my mom was not putting her faith where it needed to be : in Jesus. &nbsp;But that&#8217;s a story for another day. The climax here is that I recently noticed something strange. The Jesus that has been hanging on my pink rosary has suddenly vanished. &nbsp;Yes, vanished!!<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/_JGw_f7aCtEE\/TFrsSFPAYSI\/AAAAAAAAA5g\/aCh4b4SCYhM\/s1600\/DSC_0981.JPG\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"428\" src=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/_JGw_f7aCtEE\/TFrsSFPAYSI\/AAAAAAAAA5g\/aCh4b4SCYhM\/s640\/DSC_0981.JPG\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Once upon a time, there used to be a Jesus, crucified on a white plastic cross, and hanging at the end of that rosary where there&#8217;s a loop. &nbsp;Now, both Jesus and his white cross have vanished. Whatever would have caused this? I know I have my issues, but goodness, I hope I did not make the Jesus that was on the rosary to just walk away. &nbsp;It&#8217;s been the strangest thing, I tell you. &nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">In light of this recent confusion, I am now proposing that the FBI, CIA, and Whatever-The-Nigerian-Ones-Call-Themselves all come together and search for my Jesus. This is an outrage! A girl should not have to drive her car without her hanging Jesus. It&#8217;s simply unacceptable. &nbsp;And to make matters worse, the culprit(s) is (are) not asking for a ransom to release my Jesus. &nbsp;An internal investigation will commence at once. &nbsp;All readers, bloggers, listeners, twitters, facebookers, friends, family, and lurkers of Vera Ezimora will be considered as primary suspects. &nbsp;Everyone is advised to <i>not<\/i> leave town at this time. Leaving town would be a very suspicious move.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Some theories have already been formed as to the whereabouts of the Jesus that once hung on a white plastic cross and dangled from my rear-view mirror:<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">1. &nbsp;He got tired of hearing Vera scream, <i>&#8220;What the heck is wrong with you?!&#8221;<\/i> at all the drivers on the road.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">2. &nbsp;He got tired of Vera blasting her music and dancing while driving.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">3. &nbsp;Vera&#8217;s driving made his life feel endangered.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">4. &nbsp;When Vera rolled her window down, a terrible wind blew, and it blew him off the rosary.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">5. &nbsp;<b><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/9nYbpF\">Funmie<\/a><\/b> entered Vera&#8217;s car, spotted the white crucifix, and stole him while Vera wasn&#8217;t looking. He has since been living in <b><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/9nYbpF\">Funmie&#8217;s<\/a><\/b> wallet.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">6. &nbsp;An anti-catholic broke into Vera&#8217;s car and stole the Jesus and his crucifix from the rosary.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">7. &nbsp;The Jesus got tired of hanging from a pink rosary. &nbsp;Him, pink??? No way!!!<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">8. &nbsp;Being suspended from a girl&#8217;s rear-view mirror was just not his idea of going into the world and spreading the gospel.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">9. &nbsp;After Vera played <i>Yori Yori<\/i> (by Bracket) over and over &#8212; <i>over<\/i>, he decided that He couldn&#8217;t take it anymore. &nbsp;How can a person play Yori Yori for so long?<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">10. &nbsp;Let&#8217;s face it.
