It's Coming Up!!! 12 Miners Already Safe!
Those who want to ignore the wonder of American innovation should think again.
Michelle Malkin writes: "In a different day and age, Jeff Hart would be the most famous American in our country right now. He would be honored at the White House. Schoolchildren would learn of his skill and heroism. But because Jeff Hart works in an industry under fire by the Obama administration, more people in Chile will celebrate this symbol of American greatness than in America itself.
Jeff Hart is a driller based in my home state of Colorado. The father of two has been drilling water wells in Afghanistan at U.S. Army bases. When the San Jose Mine in Chile collapsed in August, he flew to lend his renowned expertise to the rescue effort. As part of an amazing three-way race to the trapped miners, Hart drilled for 33 days straight and was first to reach the caved-in workers. The AP recounts the story — and what strikes me again and again is how the world turned to American ingenuity and American fortitude and American equipment and American enterprise to get the job done."

"G-d Has Never Left Us" [click to read] from Christianity Today.
"Jimmy Sanchez, one of the 33 Chilean miners who have been trapped for over two months in the San Jose copper-gold mine in the Atacama Desert, would like to make one small correction to all the stories about life in the mine:
“There are actually 34 of us,” the nineteen-year-old miner wrote in a letter sent up from the mine on Tuesday, “because G-d has never left us down here.”
Amid reports of squabbling on the surface among families of the trapped miners, some say things are much calmer underground as everyone prepares for this week’s attempt to bring them back up. The men have worked hard to keep their spirits buoyant during the ordeal, organizing themselves into a community and dividing up their living-room-sized space. Early on, they set aside a space to pray daily, and religious groups have converged on the mine to serve the miner’s spiritual needs. Once a supply line was established, Seventh-Day Adventists sent down mini-Bibles with magnifying glasses; the Jesus Film Project loaded 33 MP3 players with an audio adaptation of the famous JESUS film. A crucifix was sent down in August, and it’s said that miners also requested statues of Mary and the saints. The miners signed a flag which was presented to Pope Benedict this weekend."
Late Evening Update: All 33 Miners are Out!
Thanks be to G-d!
Morning Update: All Workers Out! To G-d Be the Glory!
Campus Crusade for Christ Chile Reports:
As you were watching on TV the rescue of the miners, maybe you noticed the tee shirt they were all wearing. All those tee shirts were a gift from Campus Crusade for Christ Chile. In the front it says “Gracias Señor, or Thank You Lord” and on the back; Psalm 95:4, "Porque en su mano están las profundidades de la tierra, y las alturas de los montes son suyas, or In His hand are the depths of the earth; the heights of the mountains are His also”.
Also, on one sleeve is The JESUS Film Project image, and on the other sleeve Cruzada Estudiantil y Profesional para Cristo image (Campus Crusade for Christ). The idea was to glorify our Lord with all this and also to express our love and concern for the miners by giving them the JESUS Film and the Bible in audio form through the MP3's. They received many gifts but they decided to wear our tee shirts and we praise God for this.
I am writing so you can be informed because the Chilean TV says that 1,000,000,000 people were watching the rescue.
Blessings from Chile. Jesus is our inspiration. ht/Steve
