Praying all get out and recover quickly. Praying for the coach who along with his own life has had the great weight of responsibility on his still young shoulders. May he be treated with kindness. 

Soccer coach and players, from 11 to 16 years old have been trapped in an underground cave for days. They were found many days later in the dark and hungry. Diving seals from their own and other countries have rescued some of them, at the writing of this verse. One diver lost his life. MAE SAI claustrophobic quarters in and out, within tamping down panic for raven dark and frightful swim slow and smooth seals deliver — Thailand’s born again 7/7/2018

Still more boys and the coach to be rescued. They’ve made good progress the last two days. Perhaps tomorrow they will have them all out!

gosh, I had not even heard of this. Thanks for drawing it to my attention, Kim. I am sadly uninformed, rarely listening even to my local news!
