Praying and praying! God bless all of these dear souls who are involved in this Rescue! And I just heard the Governor on FOX, and wow! What a great guy!!

Dearest Adored in Heaven, pour out Your Awesome MERCY on all these dear souls, please brings these 9 miners out to us alive and well, and help their weary families with your Amazing Grace. In the Name of the Lord Jesus I pray. Amen

These are the men who crawl deep into the earth and mine coal so I can sit here with my air conditioning, computer, lamp and big tv, just killing time. My dad was a miner, and he's told me all I've ever needed to hear.

Anyone who wants a deeper appreciation of the character and bravery of these men should read Orwell's "Road to Wigan Pier." It is a paean to socialism, true, but it also describes the intolerable subterranean journey the miner would take just to get to the vein where he would work his shift.
