i have followed this whole ordeal closely from the day of the horrific explosion, along with my husband. my husband, george, is a mud engineer with a big drilling fluids company. he has worked on oil rigs both domestically (on land) and internationally (offshore). he has never worked in the gulf of mexico, except for many years ago when he worked on supply boats that went out to rigs. a couple of years ago he almost went to work for the same company that the two mud engineers who were killed on the rig that sunk worked for. on that horrible day that the oil and gas started spilling out into the gulf, nine floor hands and two mud engineers lost their lives. i am reminded of the immense risk people take daily as they work on any oil rig. i am reminded of how i must continue to look to my Father as my True provider, because there is no guarantee when george is at work on a rig, that there will be no horrible explosion or accident involving him. actually, on one rig he was working on, the gas had built up in the pipe but the b.o.p. kept the gas from igniting, however the build up did blow large pipe out of the hole and onto the drilling floor. by God's mercy, george was in his mud lab at the time and not on the floor. this whole event of the initial explosion and fire, loss of lives, sinking of the rig, and the continuous spilling of oil, gas, and other chemicals into the gulf of mexico is a nightmare. but God the Father will use it all for His plan and purposes. i ask Him for mercy on everyone involved, and on all His ocean and marshland creatures.
