the thirty three

CNN and Sky News have been telling us about efforts to help the 33 miners trapped underground in Chile.

The question tormenting the great humanitarians of the media is: How can the miners possibly survive another few months trapped underground without going insane?

The Chilean government has sought advice on the matter from America's National Aeronautical and Space Administration whose astronauts apparently know all about dealing with isolation.

Anti depressant drugs have been sent down the mine shaft.

A psychologist is on hand to offer counselling.

Amidst all this social science, pharmacological psychobabble and journalistic expertise, I really do hope someone with a simple faith is advising these 33 men and their families to pray for their deliverance to the God who made all of us.
