grateful for those who know the terrain

After a 17-day effort by rescuers, 41 workers trapped in an under-construction tunnel in the Himalayas have been freed. Following days of drilling through rubble, a team of "rathole miners" – workers experienced in narrow tunnel excavations using handheld tools – were sent in to dig through the remaining 40 feet. The miners managed a breakthrough in just over a day, creating a tunnel through which the workers crawled out.
“When you're doing a mountain rescue, you don't look for someone who has a PhD in rescue operations; you look for someone who knows the terrain.” - Rory Stewart, British author and diplomat
Affirmative prayer: Infinite Presence, I give thanks for those who have gone before me to make the “crooked places straight, cut the bars of iron,” (Isaiah 45:2), and show me the way. I pray that I can be such a light for others. Thank you, God, forever. Amen.
