    The Miracle that is about to happen

    Anybody else ready to see the 33 miners in Chile be rescued tonight and tomorrow?

    I know I am!!

    Two months of prayer from people all over the World are about to materialize before our eyes.

    All in less than half the time that was originally thought (somewhere around Christmas).

    Not to mention folks working together from a bunch of different countries to make it all happen. (All through His hands, of course!!)

    I don't know how much live coverage will actually be televised, but right now it's on Foxnews.com as a stream.

      I just happened to click on one of the news channels last night as they were getting ready to lower the first person down to them. Then watched as they brought out the first miner. Pretty incredible stuff.
      I know I should be ashamed of myself. Strangely though, I am not.

          As a Chilean, I know I am, as I know all are, very thankful, happy, elated, relieved, appreciative, jubilant, ecstatic, proud, well you get the idea.

          PS my grandfather was a mining engineer and archaelogist in Chile, and my father and mother are from Chile and I have lots of family still there living in the north. I'm happy to say that my cousin lives in the house our grandfather built in Calama.

              It is truly a miracle these 33 miners are all alive! So glad they're bringing them up now! The moments when the family and miners see each other for the first time are incredible! Prayers were definitely answered!

                  Just watched it on the news tonight here, have to admit, had a bit of lump in my throat when seeing the amazing coverage. well done Chile, its could to see some good news nowadays, instead of some of the crap that goes on.

                  Roll on number 33

                      You've gotta feel for the poor guy who has his wife & mistress waiting for him up on the ground. Apparently, they both turned up at the mine site holding his photo and came across each other, not knowing the other existed.

                      He'll probably want to stay down there I'm guessing!

                          I just watched a few more of them come up.

                          This just never gets old!

                          I think I've been through about a half a box of Kleenexes already.

                              Amazing how something like this can appeal to the whole planet. Shows people everywhere are a lot more alike than they admit.
