Great Miracles

I watched the 1956 Cecil B. DeMille's motion picture about the life of an adopted Egyptian prince who became the deliverer of the Hebrew slaves, The Ten Commandments, in DVD many years back and now what remained etched in my mind was Charlton Heston, playing the lead role of Moses, parting the Red Sea which won an Oscar for Special Effects. Today, when a friend sent me photos of a freezing sea, I wonder what if Moses had freezed the Red Sea instead. Perhaps, then, the Hebrew slaves would not have to go all the way down to walk on the mushy seabed which probably would have fishes and crustaceans wriggling and gasping for air there! But come to think about it,maybe that probably isn't a good idea. Freezing the sea would not be as spectacular as parting the sea. Great miracles must look impossible! If the sea had been freezed instead of being parted, nobody'd probably notice. Don't you think the miracle of snow falling each winter, turning the world a glorious white has gone unnoticed since time memorial?

Frozen Sea!
