See God is there when you need him

OK. I let one go by but not two. If the boy had not been found alive, that does not change the presence or goodness of God.

McGRADY, N.C. -- A missing 12-year-old Boy Scout has been found alive in the North Carolina mountains, a National Park ranger at the scene confirms.

Michael Auberry was found by rescue crews shortly after 11 a.m., said Tina White, National Park ranger. White said she learned the boy was found by radio, but did not know further details.

The incident commander, park ranger David Bauer, told a CNN producer in the command center that the boy "walked out on his own."

Tina White, the spokesperson for the National Park Service confirmed that saying that rescuers were preparing to walk Michael out on the trail.

"We expected him at the least to be weak and dehydrated but we're all smiling now because we're very optimistic that we'll soon be able to confirm this officially," said White.

She said the story would be confirmed when Michael was taken to the incident commander and he was able to confirm the report for himself.

The incident commander and Michael Auberry's parents were on their way to meet them about a mile and a half from the camp, White said.

When White said officials had received word from searchers that Michael Auberry had been found, it set off a celebration among leaders of several Scout troops waiting for news about the boy. White left a staging area shortly after 11 a.m. to go to the scene and try and confirm the report.

Good point. In addition, when a child suffers a fatal accident should we conclude God wasn't there when He was really needed?

Nope, then God would have shown His mercy and taken the boy to Heaven. Oh ya, the boy was praying for that when he was scared now wasn't he? God does His own work, don't second guess God. He said to the boy I have a better idea , here comes the rescue. How about that one. GO outside and look at the trees, the air ,etc. God is there. Even if you are too educated to find Him. If you do not know HIM ,He knows you! I hope this answer made your day!
