A Miracle is when a person decides that they are going to change the world, and then goes out and makes it happen. It is the act of one person, or a small group of people, who against the odds achieves greatness. People like Gandhi, a single individual, who was a Dreamer that freed a nation. People like Nelson Mandela who after spending 27 years in prison rose to become president of the nation that oppressed him. People like Bill Clinton, a poor Arkansas country hick, who at the age of 15 shook the hand of President Kennedy and decided in that moment that he would become president and made it happen. Another example of what will be a miracle will be if this church accomplishes its goals, changing the world for the better, and without degenerating into chaos.
In the Church of Reality a Miracle is an accomplishment that is so fantastic that it seems almost supernatural that it occurred.
Miracles in the Church of Reality are not supernatural. There is no magic in our miracles. Miracles are the true stories of heroes where people through hard work, wisdom, adversity, and sacrifice showed courage in the face of danger and took it upon themselves to envision a better world and to make it real. Miracles inspire us and remind us that a single individual can change the world with their mind. Everyone of us, if we choose that path, can be that single individual.
