Reflection Starter from William Jennings Bryan

“Some skeptics say, ‘Oh, the miracles. I can’t accept miracles.’

“Well consider this then. One may drop a brown seed in the black soil and up comes a green shoot. You let it grow and soon enough you’ll pull up a root that is red. Now you cut that red root and you find it has a white heart.

“Can anyone tell me how this comes about - how brown cast into black turns up green with red underneath and white inside? Yet you eat your radish without even thinking of it as a miracle. . . . Everyday is a miracle - a miracle of life that sustains our hope!” - William Jennings Bryan
