Let’s bow our heads and pray.

A dozen boys and their coach need the world’s prayers. They are stranded deep in a sprawling cave in Thailand.

How they got stuck in the case, trapped by raging flood water, is almost moot at this point. A team of British divers found the boys alive and apparently in reasonably good health. None of them has suffered any serious injury.

They are hungry. They haven’t eaten in about a week.

But this story is going to get dicey quickly.

According to NPR.com, the Thai government is predicting stormy weather that could impede rescue efforts. The word we’re getting is that the boys and their coach might need to dive their way out; they’ll have to don SCUBA gear and swim to safety.

It’s a treacherous procedure, according to reports. I understand none of the boys can swim. They’ve never dived before. They’ll be accompanied by expert divers.

I’m trying to grasp the terror in these boys’ minds as they know they’ve been found, but that it might be weeks before they are able to escape their entrapment.

They need nourishment to be sure.

They also need the world’s prayers. I’m sending them all the good karma I can muster up.
