Heard on the news...

"Some people are calling it a miracle, others, a sign from God."

And the difference is? If you're going to set it up as a distinction, at least make the two things different.

Good grief.

A miracle is a spectator sport, usually generating little more than "wow" s; A sign from God requires concentration so as to learn the lesson offered. Of course I'm being facetious, but it gives you an answer if you wouldn't have been able to sleep tonight without one.

A miracle can be performed by a god/goddess from any religion, but God usually means the Judeo-Christian (and Muslim one as well, though many peole will deny that) one.

Oh, and expect 2 packages that will get mailed off either Monday or Tuesday or Wednesday, depending.

Oh! Packages. FUN! Will you be in one? I could mail you back. It would save on airfare.

And I know I didn't mention it in the post, but the news report concerned a statue of the Virgin Mary crying blood. So... I really think that "mircale" and "God" -- in this case -- were the same religion.

Feel free to be pedantic anytime. *grin*
