'We are not going to quit until we find him' / JAMES KIM: Cnet editor seen as calm, resourceful

It's easy to critize others when we are not in the situation. Yesterday, I read discussion boards that commented on what James Kim "Should Have" done. "He should have stayed in the car."
" He just wasn't thinking." Some people said. What do we know what he was thinking when we weren't there with him.


Why is it so hard to praise the heroic effort of his heart to save his family?

We don't have all the answers. God does.

To see the heart of this family and resourcefullness to stay alive 10 days with only the shelter of a car is amazing.

I commend his efforts to do whatever he could to find help. I can only imagine the anguish he and his wife felt to see two young children afraid and hungry.

Our greatest leaders and inventors thought beyond conventional opinion so we can enjoy the luxuries we have today. If they followed what people said "they should have " done, we would not have light, cell phones, ipods, and the list goes on and on.

I believe we lash out at others in an effort to protect ourselves from feeling emotions. When you lash out hastily without consideration for others you put up a wall around you. You put yourself in a position to automatically shut down the opinions of others. That's a sad way to live.

Today I hope we can look in our hearts to embrace the efforts of others to better a situation than to condemn them.

May God bless the Kim Family,
