Miracles

I realize that 12% of the folks do not believe in any Greater Power, nor miracles. And I feel badly for them, as they will never see the true wonder in life.

On Christmas Eve, Tracy Hermanstorfer, pregnant and in labor, died of cardiac arrest. The attending physician performed a C-section to try and save the baby, but the baby was lifeless, as well.

But miraculously, the baby suddenly revived. Only then did they wheel Tracy into surgery, in the slim hope of finding some way to revive her, as well. But there was no need - on the way to surgery, she revived on her own.

The attending physician stated she has no clue why either revived.

On that same day, a terrorist with a bomb attempted to blow up an airliner with nearly 300 people aboard. The bomb was built by an expert, and he was properly trained in its use. Inexplicably, however, this terrorist who wanted to give the second most important celebration in Christianity (the first is Easter) a "black eye" failed - instead of the bomb going off, the terrorist caught fire and was thereupon subdued by passengers.

Christmas Eve, Two "tragedies" that somehow, miraculously, simply never happened.

I am so happy to be a person of faith, so I can appreciate these things more.
