A public lecture endeavors to “prove” traditional lore while dazzling a curious audience. An educational institution hosts a seminar designed to persuade students with “evidence” of miraculous events of the past. Yet another publication seeks to “logically” validate the supernatural. A colleague shares “proof” of the divine as a relative seeks to convince family members of his newfound “rational” arguments for belief. All have but one aim: to convert faith to fact.

I always liked the idea that on their 100th birthday, centenarians in England receive birthday greetings from the queen. In the United States, they come from the president. The signatures may be facsimiles, but the idea is touching.
No, I won’t be receiving one any time soon; the birthday I celebrated just last week leaves me with 26 years to go. But I was thinking about this in the context of a similar event I’m celebrating today – the publication of my 100th “I’ve Been Thinking” column.
