Comments on: Father Lost In Snowy Mountains Kept Faith

Dad And 3 Children Rescued After Being Lost For 3 Days In Snowstorm

OK! Family outing gone bad. How many of us start out traveling in the mountains or desert for an outing? We do.

How many actually take emergency supplies just in case something happens: Food, Water, and Blankets, Flash light (new batteries), cell phone or two way radio and so on.

My wife and I were driving between Phoenix and LA when we came across a family about 11AM, car broke down. No tools or parts to repair the car. At 110+ deg they had no water or food and didn''t want to use the road side emergency phones. Lucky for them we had 4 gals of water with us and spare snacks to share. I also walked to the emergency phone, against the fathers wish, then call help for them. Stupid man that he was for not preparing for the journey.

I do not think the whole family would have survived without some help.

I hope he gets a 7 foot plastic tree at Walmart from now on.

Really - I wonder what the rescue cost is going to be for their wanting to be like the Waltons. He put his children in harms way !!

Please, everyone, stop the proselytizing. This is a very happy ending for everyone, so just be happy for them and leave yourselves out of it!

God does not exist except in the minds of people who wish to believe he exist.

Well, about 4 years ago, Algore said with his Global Warming that we soon would not have winter anymore

What is your Source?

I was listing to a song today that one of my friends sent me titled HELLO GOD, I sure wish I had these non believers e-mails so that I could send it to them, then maybe they would have a different perspective as if there is a god or not, they could just read the words along with her singing and this is what out would has come to, SO SO SAD

[hawksprings]

Actually, it was 7 years ago in ALgore''s book "Earth In THe Lurch" where he said we wouldn''t have winter anymore.

Well, about 4 years ago, Algore said with his Global Warming that we soon would not have winter anymore, so stories of people getting lost in the snow in the mountains will soon be a thing of the past.
When that happens we''ll be hearing stories of how they forgot their sunscreen and got sunburned to death.
haha

"Yeah, god sent that helicopter out in freezing weather, god had all those rescue personnel save the idiot...
Doctors hear this babble a lot - god saved my life! Never mind the incredible efforts of trained professionals, doing the impossible with all their hearts..."

I am by no means a religious person. But, couldn''t the love and caring nature in those rescuers'' hearts be God?

[cosmicfluke]

yeah, it was God (Christian Version) that rescued them, it must have been Satan who led them down the wrong trail?
whatever.
At least the stupid people are alive to be stupid another day.

[roger_inkart]

So, if they all would have died would it have been God''s fault?

They were stupid, careless and got lucky they were found BY PEOPLE. He''s owes nothing to God and everything to the rescue team.

God blessed this family, no doubt about it!

"I''''m very glad the children were spared."

No. You would have preferred that the children all died so that you could post about "why did not God save the children?"

[marbru-2009]

For those of you who don''t believe in a gracious and caring God, that''s your privilege. But please stop criticizing those of us who do. We are as entitled to believe in God as you are entitled not to. If we''d all just live and let live, we''d have a much nicer world.

Maybe this man''s FAITH was what gave him the strength NOT TO GIVE UP. If you know that help will eventually come, you''ll do your best to make sure that you hold on until it gets there.

You would have given up and died curled into the fetal position if you were in his place.

[barbaraf4]

I''m very glad the children were spared.

God needs to save His miracles for those who check the weather before they head out on such an adventure, who take along survival gear (just in case), who carry a cell phone with a GPS chip, who believe that killing a tree is not the only way to celebrate Christmas.

"The ordeal began Sunday, when Dominguez and the children left church and ..."

"Yeah, god sent that helicopter out in freezing side weather, god had all those rescue personnel save the idiot...
Doctors hear this babble a lot - god saved my life!"

"and you''re just praying, `God, keep my kids alive,"
"and relied on his faith. "

Yeah yeah another excuse to publish yet another mini bibull sermonette under the guise of a story, so what else is new? the religious krap in here is so htick you can cut it with a knife. FORGET about the trained rescue people who rescue people every day.
god saved his life?? so he could remain here in basically purgatory instead of blissfully slipping away into eternal PARADISE with his galorious god and sidekick jezus?? whats wrong with him!!
He should have been angry and upset he and the kids didn''t get to go to this perfect paradise sooner than later!!
