Chile Mine Rescue For 33 Chilean Miners Expected To Begin Within Hours

A Chile Mine Rescue for 33 Chilean miners trapped underground is expected to begin within the next few hours. Anxiety is running high for 33 Chilean miners who have been trapped in an underground mine for over 2 months (since August of 2010). The 33 Chilean miners are awaiting Operation San Lorenzo rescue, which is expected to begin momentarily. San (Saint) Lorenzo is the Patron Saint of Miners in the hagiography of official Canonized Saints of the Roman Catholic church.

Chief Medic Dr Jean Romagnoli indicates that the 33 Chilean miners are doing fine. In fact, the 33 Chilean men apparently have good appetites, and have been enjoying festive meals like potatoes with steak and green beans, and dried plums with chicken. Some of the Chilean miners will be required to fast before the Chile mine rescue effort begins.

According to an article in the New York Times, the October rescue will begin momentarily. Chile's billionaire President Sebastián Piñera has made the rescuing of the Chilean miners a number one priority, and a good amount of money has been spent in order to get the rescue underway. He has consequently become a more popular leader due to his unflinching effort to rescue the 33 Chilean men who are still trapped underground.

Good Men Are Indeed Hard To Find

Are there any good men left in the world? Where are the heroes, the true good men? Why does the expression "A good man is hard to find" ring more true today than ever? Do you know any good men, or do the men you meet seem good when, in fact, they are not? Do you know any men who truly seek God's direction in their lives?

Is there even such a thing as a good man? How can you tell? A man can be a good man without being perfect. A tireless and completely unselfish act of loving kindness is one sign that a man might be a good man. When an elderly husband becomes his wife's caretaker, and sacrifices many hours of his life for her welfare, this is a good man. When a young man joins the Army and becomes a soldier because he wants to protect and defend America and Americans, this is a good man.

Even though no man can ever truly be good, due to the inherent sinful nature in all human beings, some men stand apart from the masses of men, nobly performing their heroic deeds to a largely ungrateful humanity. These are the men who inspire and influence many other men who wish to emulate their inner strength. These are the good men who are hard to find.

Two Kinds of Men: Hero and Anti-Hero

Are you the kind of man who is a hero, or are you an anti-hero? A man needs to decide at some point in his life what kind of man he is going to be, either a hero or an anti-hero, and his actions should reflect this important decision. Heroes are self-confident, but seek God's face when making important decisions.

What does it mean to seek God's face? This means you pray and ask God for guidance, even though the answer might not be the one you expect. For example, if you are thinking about cheating on your wife, God is not going to approve of your actions, even if your wife happens to be far less than perfect.

Jack Bauer, the character in Fox TV's now defunct 24 series, is actually both a hero and an anti-hero, depending upon the situation at hand. On the one hand, Jack Bauer is a hero, an anti-terrorist who is not afraid to be politically incorrect, but on the other hand, Jack Bauer is also an ex-heroin addict who ended up being a disappointing anti-hero, actually a serial killer, during 24's last remaining episodes.

Heroes practice Agape love, which is a special kind of love that places the welfare of others above his own. In other words, a hero is completely unselfish, and has enough faith in God, when faced with either a serious temptation, or a difficult decision, to do the right thing. What difference does it make if you do the right thing? Do your actions matter that much? Yes, your actions do indeed count more than you might realize. Everything you do affects those you care about, and can even affect total strangers.

You have the power to set either a good or bad example to those around you, whether in person or online. If you are an online author with your own blog, a freelance writer, or are involved in forums and online social networking sites on the Internet, you have the capability and responsibility of setting a good example to those who read your words.

Heroes are brave men who risk their lives to save others. A few examples of everyday American heroes range from your neighborhood policemen and firemen to soldiers, marines, and all those courageous men who protect and defend all Americans and their country, the United States of America.

Do you want people who read what you write to be positively or negatively affected? Do you want your wife, relatives, friends, and Internet buddies to benefit in a good way from the words you write? If you do, choose what kind of man you are: hero or anti-hero.
