Image of Jesus in A Rock Formation
I have been watching the webcasts of A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle.
Oprah mentioned a scripture from the bible, “Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.” (Psalm 61:2)
I immediately thought of the rock formation we found in Colorado that looks like the image of Jesus. This picture of Jesus was taken with a film camera and was not manipulated in any way. You can read the other blogs on this site to find out how we found this rock formation. You can also go to our other website called Faces In The Rocks to read more about our spiritual journey.
If you would like to see more photos of rock formations paired with quotations to match their personalities CLICK HERE to view our photo gallery.
You will be able to see some amazing faces.

None of the photos were manipulated in any way. We used a film camera to take these photos. We have negatives to prove the faces are just as they were found in Nature.
If you would like to check out our book Faces In The Rocks/ A Spiritual Journey, which has 150 different rock faces, all matched with quotations or sayings sure to inspire you CLICK HERE. Looking through this book is a great way to enjoy Natures’ treasures that we have all been blessed with.
We do sell an 8″x10″ image of Jesus in the rock formation that was found while we were hiking in the Colorado mountains. It has the words “I am with you always.” Matthew 28:20.
We are selling it for a total of $10.00 (that includes the shipping). It is made to fit in an 8 x10 readymade frame which you can pick up just about anywhere from speciality frame shops to TJMaxx,Target, Michaels, Hobby Lobby or Kohls, or even the grocery stores carry this size frame.

It makes a great gift…Just order the 8 x 10 and put it in a frame. CLICK HERE to go to the site to place an order or just to check it out.
I give these 8 x10’s as gifts all of the time. The photo in this blog is what the gift I am currently giving away looks like in the frame.

I have created a poster with the image of Jesus found in rock formation

I have created a poster using the image of Jesus we found in a rock formation in the Colorado mountains. The image was not manipulated in any way. It was taken with a film camera. It is really beautiful. I gave the disc with the layout to a friend of mine. She took it to Englewood Camera and had it printed. It is expensive to print out just one, but her daughter really wanted it. She then took it to get it professionally framed. It came out wonderful. I changed the background to black for her, but the one that I designed originally had a white background.
I was thinking, if enough people show interest I can order them in bulk and sell them a lot cheaper. Just e-mail me by clicking here and let me know if you would be interested. Also, it is cheaper to frame a poster because the frames are ready made in stores such as Michaels or Hobby Lobby.
I have used the image of Jesus in the rocks for different kinds of gifts.
I usually put the Jesus photo with a different scripture from the bible. I then print it out and frame it. It makes a wonderful gift and people seem to love it.
One year I made a Christmas card for a very special couple we know. It said “Christmas is a time of peace.” They really seemed like it. They kept it and set it out every year at Christmas.
I think greeting cards are more personal when you create them yourself. You should try making your own cards from your photos. I just printed the card out on photopaper. I used Adobe Photoshop to put the words on the card.
The next time you need a card think about creating your own from a photo. It is much more personal than a store bought card. If you don’t have a program to create a card, their are several sites on the web that offer this service. CLICK HERE to go to an example of one of the sites available.

If you have not read the book “A Simple Path”, I would suggest getting yourself a copy or check it out at the library.
Love in action is what gives us grace.
Very inspiring. Helps you to understand how to find happiness by taking a simple path.

It is very difficult to describe the way this happened. It was not on purpose.We were driving a long way from Denver, and relaxing. We were pursuing our normal hobby. We take photographs of rocks that look like faces. Yes, I know it is a little odd, but it was a lot of fun.
We pulled over by the side of the road, and looked for

We have the photo of Jesus on the wall in the family room. I will show you a photo of it.
This is a great photo. It is so clear and so sharp and full of color. It is beautiful on the wall.
Here is what is interesting. When people come over they see the enlarged photo of the Jesus Rock, they stop and look, and they stare. They can’t believe that it is a rock formation. They see something more, something deeply spiritual or religious in this photo.Our neighbor sat down on the edge of the couch and looked at the photo of Jesus for ten minutes, not moving, not saying a word. This photo holds some kind of religious depth. He is so wise and spiritual and knowing and sad at the same time. There is a peace in his expression and a wisdom that is so easy to see.
This has happened more than once. People love this picture of Jesus that is a rock.
I have to admit that it happened to me. When we brought the photo home after we had it enlarged, we taped it to a frame we already had, and hung it on the wall. I couldn’t take my eyes off it. It spoke to me of the teachings of Christ, his Sermon on the Mount and other teachings. It reminded me of the book Magnificent Obsession, that great book by Lloyd C. Douglass about charity and courage that I read when I was a child. The Sermon on the Mount that was the key to the book was so profound and so wise. It has stayed with me my entire life. I had forgotten the ideas in my life that had been so busy and so full of tragedy. This face brought it back. The Jesus Rock brought it back to me.
This face reminded me of the teachings of Christ, that were always the teachings that I wanted to remember.
The wisdom… the peaceful expression… the understanding… and it was a rock.
A rock that looks like Jesus.
I would look at the photo of Jesus as I walked by for the next week, and the next month. It inspired me. It calmed me. It made me believe again.It made me believe and it made me remember. This was the goodness I had lost. This was the faith that had been so hard to find. It was right in front of me in this photo.
The photo meant that much.
I don’t know if I can describe the feeling or the logic, and maybe there is no logic. I just know that this photo changed me. It made me better. It made me remember the teachings of Christ. It made me remember the teachings of the Sermon on the Mount. It helped me.
I see the photo every day, and it still reaches out to me. It seems that it affects everybody this way.

When we first started looking for faces in the rocks, we were beginners. It took a while to find the faces, and they were sometimes very hard to find. This is how we found Mother Teresa.
We were hiking in the mountains just West of Denver, in an area we knew very well. I was taking pictures of the scenery and everything that looked remotely like a face in the rock. I took a lot of photos, and Judy and I had pretty good imaginations. So much so that, when we would get the film developed we would often have very few if any faces. All those photos and very few faces in the rocks. Our imaginations saw them but the camera wouldn’t take their pictures.
We got these photos back, and in one of them there was a hand, held out in front of the rock formation, that looked like it was praying. The only problem is that it was a little out of focus. Out of focus, and I only had one photo.
I would correct that error in the future. I would take ten photos of a great rockface, to be sure that I would have one usable one when they were developed. I had to do this, because we couldn’t always remember where we had been, or where the rock face was located.
We would make notes: “between the two large trees and the large rock”, but those notes were almost useless a few weeks later. There are a lot of trees and rocks, and we just couldn’t always remember where everything was.
Yes, we should have purchased a GPS locator, and kept notes, but we just weren’t ever planning that this was going to be a book. It was for fun.
So, we had to go back and find the original rock formation to take another photo that would be in focus.
This sounds easy, but to find the same rock on the side of a very large mountain was a daunting task. To make it worse, I wasn’t even sure what mountain it was. We went back and looked, and looked, and looked.
After a few hours we walked up to a rock formation by accident. Judy finallly saw Mother Teresa again, but the lighting was wrong and we had to come back on another day at around 10:00 a.m. to take the picture. This one turned out.
That was how we finally got the photo of “Mother Teresa”.
