MONDAY THOUGHT 3/1/10

A Random God?

Two totally normal but completely weird things happened while I was out walking on the Ahnapee Trail last fall.  (No, sorry, this is not a story about burning bushes, blinding flashes of light or voices from on high.)

Weird thing number one:  I noticed my fingernail and realized that it is an amazing covering that protects my fingers … almost never recognized, but incredibly important.  What an odd thing.  Who’d have thought to invent such a thing, yet our lives would be very difficult without them.  Weird thing number two:  I heard the machine-gun knocking of a woodpecker and realized that such a thing — the speed and power of a jackhammer — was impossible to conceive … yet there it was.

My point: Chance, my butt!  It’s a world teeming with awesome, awe-inspiring creation – from giraffes to eagles to breath-taking sunrises; from snails to toenails; from gentle breezes to thundering hurricanes.  And atheists – such silly folks — claim we’re naïve to believe in a loving, magnificent creator!  Have an awesome, wondrous day amid the miracles of this earth. – jri

“For the truly faithful, no miracle is

Necessary.  For those who doubt, no

Miracle is sufficient.”

Thank you for your continued prayers.  Some might call it the placebo effect (and some might also believe in the Easter Bunny and tooth fairy), but I feel their gentle power and peace cascading over me.  Thank you.  Details to follow … someday.
