I agree that all things denote there is a God, so, in a very real way, all things testify of God.

I know I have been hit by a recognition of God's glory in some interesting and surprising ways. “Life, the Universe, and Everything, it seems, can be Scripture if seen in the right light.”

This is very similar to Nephi's lines about writing scripture for one's family. With an open canon, many things may be considered scripture that even most people around you don't realize have affected you deeply. FWIW, the first thing that came to mind when I saw the title on the RSS feed was, "And she's buy-uy-ying a sta-ai-irway to hea-ea-ven."
