The Bible says that we do not know the number of days of our life here on earth. However for those who belief in Christ have an eternal life waiting for them in Heaven.
Psalms 23 has always been my favorite passage and it fits this situation. Also the poem Footprint in the Sand is also a very fitting poem for times like these.
May the Lord be with the families, friends and co-workers during these trouble times, but rejoice in knowing that the believers are home in a better place. AMEN.
Hello?? There's water down there! Do you know how long they could survive with a water source? They could still be alive.
I truely believe that when the sides came in on the miners, they did not have a chance to escape. Also note when the rescuers tried to move all the rubble the sides came in on them too.
It is time to let go and accept whats happen. It is a terrible event.
With the U and the Y nearby, I am confident that new attention by some very smart and humane folks will be directed to the unique problems facing western USA mines, which are deeper than eastern mines by a factor of 3 or 4. It's a matter that urgently needs interdepartmental research bringing together physicists, engineers, and geologists. Utah is blessed with some of the best in all three areas, and could really make a difference for future mine safety.
May the angels bear these men who lost their lives in honorable labor to paradise, and may God send comfort the bereaved who must for now remain here below.
I know you want to find your loved ones,but remember
this body is only a shell for our soul's,and as the
Bible say's it is from Dust to Dust!!!My prayer's are with you......
(A Tribute To The Coal Miners)
(When Coal Dust Turns To Gold)
With buckets packed and hard hats on,
They go to earn their pay.
Miners have a special bond,
They live it every day.
All miners share the burden,
When one has lost his life.
The coal mines never could replace,
The kiss he gave his wife.
It's a special kind of job,
Only miners do.
No matter how far down they go,
Angels go there too!
We miss the ones that God called home,
And the jokes that they have told.
The coal dust floors they use to walk,
Now have turned to gold.
Deep in the earth,across the land,
The miners did their best.
Their place of final rest.
I pray for all of the families involved and pray that God will watch over you and help heal your hearts and take away all your pain. Just remember these men will always be in your hearts forever, and one day you will meet again.
What a bunch of religious BS from all of you though.
Hopefully the families involved can get some closure somehow as the bodies are likely to remain entombed in the mine.
I am sure these men will be remembered and missed as long as there friends and families survive.
I am not a believer but,in my own way,I prayed that these men would be brought out,alive.Other brave men have sacrficed themselves for to aid their comrades.To all of them we should erect a memorial.
My heart goes out to all of those suffering as a result of this disaster.
We not only pray for the those lost in the first collapse: Allred, Erikson, Hernandez, Payan, Phillips, Sanchez and families but those lost in the rescue attempt: Black, Jensen, & Kimber families as well as those who sustained injuries (the six forgotten families, the names I do not know.
There are others also hurting: the mining officials including Mr. Murray who himself tried to physically rescue those trapped in the rescue attempt, the MSHA officials who also lost an inspector, the new mayor wanting her community to pull together, the Sheriff's department, pastors and countless others who know the families in this mining community.
We remember each of you this day in prayer, but especially the families who will forever have a part of their lives missing: a spouse, a father, a grandfather, a father, a brother, an uncle...YOU will be missed and LOVED and REMEMBERED.
