Sometimes

Sometimes a piece of news just grabs you. For me, today, it's the story of the miners trapped in Wales.

As I sit in my warm home, eating some tasty food and listening to classical music on the radio, the closest I feel to the conditions in that mine is the dark, grey, wet weather outside.

But the emotion of that story still makes an impact.

Tragically as the day has gone on the headlines have changed from 'search continues for miners' to 'one miner known to be dead', to two dead, to three. As I write this that is the latest.

Awful.

What it must be like for those men to go to work as normal one day and then face such a terrible series of events, I do not know.

I pray for those men's families and for the remaining miner stuck there and for the people working on the search and rescue operation.

And, although I am sure there are differences, it makes me think about how amazing the rescue of the Chilean miners was.

Well, adios.
