With the BP oil cap apparently stopping the leak from the Horizon well pipe, we are all hoping for the best. After 85 days of unimaginable ecological catastrophe, we are holding our collective breath. BP representatives and governmental spokespeople are guarded in their comments. Eleven workers lost their lives in the initial disaster. For their families, and for untold numbers of families along the Gulf coast who depend on the sea for their livelihood, this has been an irrecoverable loss. For the wildlife and the elements likewise.
We not only hope for the best, but as people of faith, we pray that the efforts to stem the flow of oil, and the clean-up endeavor that is required, will result in a level of restoration to the region that at this point would be nothing short of miraculous. May it be so.
