Continuing the line of discussion that George nicely began: "Classic" miracles, in my bumble opinion, are less impressive to the 21st century human. There was a hilarious re-telling of a 1960 comic story (the JLA origin, if anyone's interested) in which one of the main characters, a Martian, finds his cover blown. Instead of the 1959/1960 panic from the crowd, the 1990 version crowd wondered if Spielberg was making a movie.
The miracles which impress me, even after 13 years in the Church, aren't the ones which can be reproduced with technology. It's when I see a human heart softened, a mind opened. If any of you knew how stubborn I was in opposition to "organized religion" (and there's some debate whether we behave as if we're organized) you'd think I had a personality transplant -- as many of my old friends DO think. These sort of things leave me more awestruck than, for example, seeing my daughter's twisted back straightened by 40+% (with no medical treatment) right after she received her endowments. (Mind you, I'm extremely grateful and impressed.) What miracles seem miraculous to you? *jeep! --Chet "Start by doing what's necessary, then what's possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible." ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// /// ZION LIST CHARTER: Please read it at /// /// http://www.zionsbest.com/charter.html /// ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// --^---------------------------------------------------------------- This email was sent to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?aaP9AU.bWix1n.YXJjaGl2 Or send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] TOPICA - Start your own email discussion group.
