Miracles Have a Way of Making News

Miracles have a way of making news. Even skeptics stare at parted seas. Religious or not--Christians, Muslims, Jews-- Resurrection brings them to their knees! Years ago, miracles were in vogue: Christ and Moses wowed the willing crowds; Holy icons healed both saint and rogue; Rare wonders were ascribed to cups and shrouds. In our time miracles are everyday, So few can hope to grab us, or astound. The mysteries that clutter up our way May seem much more perplexing than profound. And yet life is miraculous: to be Surpasses any wonder we might see. Copyright by Nicholas Gordon. Free for personal or non-commercial use.
