I posted some stuff on that thread that was probably misunderstood and will still be misunderstood. Sure, the recovery was a great thing. I just said that you could consider it a miracle or not. I didn't say that it was NOT a miracle. I just said that it could be CONSIDERED or PERCEIVED as not being a miracle, and I also was trying to say that the perception of it could depend on your viewpoint and your experience of Christianity, perhaps.

Didn't mean to offend, didn't mean to put someone down, although I did feel like I was kind of disparaging and was apparently taken that way. But I didn't mean to be.

I believe miracles can and do happen. I also believe that there's times miracles are called for and they don't happen. That's one reason my wife passed away a year and a half ago. That's one reason I'm here. Take what I say with a grain of salt (several). And may God bless us all.

I believe that miracles happen for two basic reasons:
1) to manifest the Glory of God, and
2) to serve a specific didactic purpose into the person who received the miracle, and his/her close ones.

As far as I’m concerned life itself is a miracle.

To point at specific events within life as being more miraculous than others is redundant.

that makes sense to me because life itself is a constant learning process that serves a specific purpose in each one of us, and manifests the glory of God.
