Taking a moment to pray

by Allison

I’d just like to take a moment to ask you all to pray or think happy thoughts or send well wishes, etc for the miners that have been recently trapped due to an earthquake. The range in age from 20-60 and many are fathers and husbands. My own father works in for a mining company, and although he doesn’t actually work IN the mines (he works outside, helping with loading, separation, etc), I’m still very aware of the dangers of the job these men do.

No matter what your religion, take a moment to think about these people today, and count your blessings that the people in your family are home safe tonight.
