Dan,
Great reflection. Thanks for the humor you use too. It really does come down to your belief as you say. Do you believe in miracles? I do!

We all love a tall tale! ? The story of James Bartley is a whale of a tale. Nevertheless, why would Jesus refer to Jonah as a sign if he wasn’t actually in the belly of the whale? The difference between these stories is that JB was cut out of belly of the whale, while Jonah was spewed out! ?. I love both stories and they have happy endings. Seriously, miracles abound. While I am skeptical of some recent near death experiences related, the one that stands out for me is Dr. Mary Neal, an orthopedic surgeon who drowned while kayaking. She was brought back to life after being in the belly of the sea for hours! Did she really see Heaven? ?

Hey Dan,

The theme of the Bible is a simple one. It’s a love story.

One would be making a mistake trying to make it into anything else.

Thanks Dan for your great message. Faith is about believing what you cannot see with your eyes without doubt. After all nothing is impossible with our maker. God bless you Dan

We fickle humans like to waiver and wobble in our faith. The accuracy of the stories is not as important as the symbolism and the connection to the great mystery of Christianity. Don’t we all look for signs in our lives? Start with the sign of the cross and realize three days in the belly of a whale is not too far fetched. Thank you Dan
