Lessons from the Chile miners' rescue

The rescue effort is far from over. As of this writing, only 4 out of 33 trapped miners have been pulled to safety. But already, the lessons one can learn from this are all around.

First off, I truly admire (that's actually an understatement, I don't have the exact word right now) the way this is being handled by the Chilean government. The entire world is watching and I'm sure everyone feels the same. They are extremely organized. This whole effort is obviously well-planned, to ensure that nothing goes wrong. There's the absence of the usual media hype we would normally see in a similar local scenario. Everything is very straightforward and you don't see any hidden agendas...just the safety of all 33 miners who have been down there since August 5.

The human spirit is indestructible! Thank you, Lord for being with these brave men all throughout their ordeal!
