Magic vs Logic

I have just returned from a four month stint of euphoric bliss in the hidden gem known as Camp Nutimik. It was wonderful. When people ask me why it was so wonderful, my answer (on a personal level, at least) is always the same: It was a chance for God to take me out of my circumstances (which were dismal at best), and start a relationship with me that transcended said circumstances. Instead of basing my perception of Him on the events around me, I will base my perception of the events around me on His goodness and sovereignty. And that rocks.

But it leads me to wonder...is this transformation a magical one or a logical one? It's clearly nothing short of a miracle, but did God take my mind and heart and do a total makeover? Or did he simply give me a purpose at camp that took a higher priority than all the problems, stresses, and temptations of city life?

A skeptic would undoubtedly say (haha, that sentence makes me chuckle...can a skeptic say ANYTHING undoubtedly?) that the change I've experienced was merely a result of having a purpose that therefore distracted me from said problems, stresses, and temptations. And I would have to agree. It's difficult to disagree with a skeptic who clearly explains how a logical surgery can save a life.

But the reason I deem this good enough to put on the interweb for the benefit of millions of faceless readers is this: We need to learn to see the magic in logic. We can't let our ability to explain a miracle (whether it be a life changed at camp or a life saved by surgery) take away from our awe at the end result. Why must something be above our level of reasoning for it to woo us? Afterall, reason itself is God's invention...suck on that, skeptics! :P
