Things go wrong. Things go right. It's hard to make sense of it. Why in 2010, were 32
Chilian miners rescued, when the next week at
Pike River, 29 miners died in New Zealand/
Aotearoa?
But amazing things do happen, and the story below brought a bit of peace and joy for an instant in time to one couple and more importantly their families.

2 On the
third day there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was
there. 2 Jesus also was invited to the wedding with his disciples. 3 When the
wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.” 4 And
Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does this have to do with me? My hour has not
yet come.” 5 His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”
6 Now there
were six stone water jars there for the Jewish rites of purification, each
holding twenty or thirty gallons.[a] 7 Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the
jars with water.” And they filled them up to the brim. 8 And he said to them,
“Now draw some out and take it to the master of the feast.” So they took it.
9 When the master of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and did not
know where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew),
the master of the feast called the bridegroom 10 and said to him, “Everyone
serves the good wine first, and when people have drunk freely, then the poor
wine. But you have kept the good wine until now.” 11 This, the first of his
signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee, and manifested his glory. And his
disciples believed in him. John 2 1-12
