Miracle under the Ground; Wonder in the Sky
Believe or not, God told me: “I will show miracle under the ground and wonder in the sky.”
And the year end had passed and a new year opened.
In West Virginia, 13 miners were trapped about 80 meters under the ground. Finally and luckily, one man was saved alive. (Yes, one to twelve among 13.)
I found it to be a miracle. How devastating it should have been, without no one being rescued alive.
In Japan, heavy snow has been continuing. In a snow zone usually covered by one-meter thick of snow, they have now a four-meter snow layer.
Japan is located at the east southeast end of Siberia. In winter, cold air is directly blown from frozen Siberia to the Japanese archipelago over the Sea of Japan. Thus much snow in northern half of Japan allowed it to host the Winter Olympic Games twice, at Sapporo in 1972 and Nagano in 1998.
But this unusual heavy snow is causing some casualties in Japan now. This climate is caused by strong high pressure air high on the Indian Ocean to central Asia, which guides cold air on Syberia continually flowing to Japan.
It must be an effect of global warming. But it is also wonder in the era of greenhouse effect, Japan must suffer unusual heavy snow.
The Sate of West Virginia runs a Japanese site on the Internet. The state supported by Senator John D. 'Jay' Rockefeller IV, with many powerful friends in Japan since he studied Japanese at the International Christian University in Tokyo in early 1960’s, has succeeded in inviting some Japanese companies and is still driving the policy.
The tragedy in a mine in West Virginia must touch the heart of some Japanese concerned with the state.
I, though a stranger I am there, wish more miracles, too.
