Miracles still happen

RATIONALISTS have long claimed that miracles never happen. I beg to differ. In Bangladesh, miracles happen not only every day, but every hour.
When we get electricity, it is a miracle. When we get water, it is a miracle. When we come home in one piece, it is a miracle.
I spent a week in Bangkok in the middle of a raging flood, and there was no power failure, no water shortage... A dull un-miraculous place!
When will our country be rid of miracles, and become dull?
