Miracle Souffles
So what happened to all the miracles? A few thousand years ago it seems like there were a lot of miracles happening. God was smiting down the sinners, visiting plagues on the Egyptians, and talking to every Tom, Dick, and Harry.
I asked him what happened, why’d it all stop?
Like so many other answers I get from him, there were two parts. The first part is that it didn’t stop, they just became less public for the most part. There’s more small conversations like he has with me and fewer handing down the commandments kind of moments. More spontaneous remission of cancer and less raising Lazarus from the dead.
The second part was a little more complex. Not a lot more complex, but a little.
God told me about baking souffles. Baking a souffle is actually a pretty simple thing, but it doesn’t have a lot of tolerance. What you do is simple but it has to be done right, and then you have to trust that you’ve done it right. If you open the oven early to check how things are going, the souffle falls flat.
Somewhere along the way, God decided that humanity was like a souffle, so he stopped meddling. At least at a big level. We’re in the oven now. God is convinced that we’ll eventually figure things out, learn to live in peace and solve most of our other problems, if he just doesn’t stick his nose in.
Of course, we might just end up flattening ourselves.
Just an interesting fact ( to me, anyway ). After the birth of Christ, angel’s ceased visiting us. After the death of Christ, major miracles stopped. Coinsidence?

Never heard that we are angel-less due to christ. Damn him… I like Pillars of Salt
