A Season of Miracles

I had decided to write down something about technology earlier.  However with the latest news of the rescue of James Kim's family in Oregon this afternoon, I thought it could wait.

Sometimes when I'm on the computer at home or at work, I forget what real life can be like.  It maybe as simple as a hug from my daughter or worrying over someone whose missing like the Kim family these last 9 days.  I spoke to Leo Laporte last Friday morning after I had heard the news about James and his family.  I've gotten to know Leo over the last year, beyond just being a radio and podcasting personality.  I could tell in his voice how worried he was.  The TWiT.TV network could take a back seat for the moment.  Leo's thoughts were with his missing friends.

I suppose its only human to be concerned or worried, even over someone you don't know personally.  The inevitable what if it was my family out there.  The next emotion is I wish I could help with the search.  But all I could really do is send out my thoughts and prays for their safe return to the people who love them.

We've had one miracle today.  Please let's have another.
