I will assemble for you a collage;
Picture an ark filled with a wild assortment of every animal imaginable
and one family of eight bewildered souls
all wondering where they'll finally end up when the rain stops...
A fire so hot that it burns up everyone and everything that gets near it -
except the three men who are thrown into it...
A room full of hungry lions that will eat anybody except the devout Jewish guy...
A fish who swallows a man for the fun of it
and spits him out at his appointed destination like a taxi...
The miracle of waves parting for a chosen few,
and slamming shut on an army of irate pursuers who thought
faith was something they weren't going to need...
A dead Man who comes back to life again,
walks out of His tomb to bestow eternal life on anyone
who has a child's faith to believe that
miracles do happen...
And a God who orchestrates such contradictions of
time, nature and human experience for the sheer joy of
confounding the wise, humbling the proud and proving to the solemn that
in chaos there is a plan -
and it's okay to laugh!
