"But have you contemplated the miraculous chain of events that enables you to read these words?"

I could pen a tome with my comprehension and experiences in JUST that vein.

At a risk;

When I was in Junior High School, I remember being fascinated with WW2 and especially the Holocaust.

I remember seeing a ton of pictures (I THINK it was in The Book Of Knowledge ... an old encyclopedia type of thing ... many books .. 24 I think ... ) of survivors and ONE picture still sticks in my memory.

The camera is back from a hospital bed about 10 or so feet and a white clad nurse is sponge bathing a survivor with the caption of (something like) the first bath in 4 years.

I remember wondering ... what must that be like?

Not bathing for years ... no hot water ... no soap ... no stink pretty.

Today ... when I get under a hot shower .. EVERY time ... I think of what that first bath/shower must have felt like ... and I do ... I REALLY do ... thank Jesus for my hot water.


What's that got to do with the statement I cited?

Not many seem to connect events to their reality ... how did I get here ... why ...


I do.

This is a wonderful perspective, and one I consider to be very true, inasmuch as all of creation is sustained from one moment to the next by the Word. Because we are so used to conditions from birth, we arbitrarily call things what they are not. The law of gravity alone is an ongoing miracle. Changing water into wine is a sign, to be sure, but not a miracle. In fact the biblical texts do not even use the word “miracle.”
