Miracle: an event that appears inexplicable by the laws of nature and so is held to be supernatural in origin or an act of God.
Mystery: a religious truth that one can know only by revelation and cannot fully understand; profound, inexplicable or secretive quality or character.
Belief, Oswald writes, is both a miracle and a mystery. Inexplicable.
I love to explain things or to have them explained. I like my mind to be neat and tidy with well-traveled pathways of understanding. As Oswald writes, I can control what I can explain. I can explain religion. I cannot explain God.
