Dictionary.com has four meanings, the first two of which mention god, or supernatural causes of an event. The second two definitions are more general "marvels" that don't mention the divine.<br /><br />If there is a 1 in 100 chance that taking someone to "the room" will save their life, i would not expect them to live through it and i would prepare the family for the worst. And i imagine that if no one was ever resuscitated in the room, they would stop taking people to the room at all. But that one person's life who is able to be saved is worth it. The 1 in 100 chance (or whatever the statistic is) is worth trying for everyone, knowing that you're only going to get one. Is it a miracle when you find that one person you can save? I would say yes, absolutely. But i mean it in the sense that it is a marvel and a wonder that it happened and we witnessed it, not that i think there was divine intervention.Audreyhttp://www.audreypodrey.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6908408942431358994.post-83610225367571863902010-02-04T22:30:55.956-05:002010-02-04T22:30:55.956-05:00that was SUPERchaplain at work! just another day ...that was SUPERchaplain at work! just another day at the office...The Rev.
