BLOG: LAND OF MIRACLES

What is a miracle? When does it happen? Is it coincidence? Many people are wondering about these questions each day. Maybe when something unusual happens to us, to a close family member or friend. Humanity often wonders…

Scientists can't explain it. If miracles violate laws of nature, then they could "never be explained by appeal to natural law." I found a very interesting article by Theodore M. Drange "Science and miracles"

As Wikepedia describes "A miracle is an event attributed to divine intervention. Sometimes an event is also attributed (in part) to a miracle worker, saint, or religious leader. A miracle is sometimes thought of as a perceptible interruption of the laws of nature. Others suggest that God may work with the laws of nature to perform what people perceive as miracles Theologians say that, with divine providence, God regularly works through created nature yet is free to work without, above, or against it as well. A miracle is often considered a fortuitous event.

In casual usage, "miracle" is seen as any event that is the result of an action by God and may also refer to any statistically unlikely but beneficial event, (such as surviving a natural disaster), or simply a "wonderful" occurrence, regardless of likelihood, such as a birth. Other miracles might be: survival of a terminal illness, escaping a life threatening situation or 'beating the odds.' Some coincidences may be perceived to be miracles."

The Bible is full of miracles. Cripples started to walk, blind man from the birth could see, people rose from the dead, demon's leave the possessed ones. This is the biggest and oldest source of documented miracles. Biblical people believed that Jesus could cure them. Belief is very powerful thing.

This painting was inspired by miracles, which happens to people every day. This is the land where it happens. It's a physical-spiritual land where our soul is filled with belief. Joy, love and peace never leave. I wish that we would have this feeling wherever we go, through the hard times or best times of our lives, and we would leave a place for miracles in our hearts. This is the "Land of Miracles". There are no impossibilities if you only believe.
