SABBATH MUSINGS

Real miracles bother people, like strange
sudden pains unknown in medical literature.
It's true; They rebut every rule all we good
citizens take comfort in. Lazarus obeying
orders and climbing up out of the grave-
now there's a miracle, and you can bet it
upset a lot of folks who were standing
around at the time. When a person dies, the
earth is generally unwilling to cough him back
up. A miracle contradicts the will of the earth.
