A 76-year-old woman missing for almost two weeks in the Wallowa Mountains of Eastern Oregon has been found alive, the Baker County Sheriff's Office said Thursday.I'm glad this story ended happily. It certainly is rather remarkable, but not beyond what we know the human body is capable of surviving. The woman's sister-in-law, however, sees it differently:
Ora Doris Anderson of Sandy had a hip injury and was dehydrated when she was found just after 2 p.m. But she was conscious and alert, the sheriff's office said in a news release.
Really? Always answered? So when are you going to get us out of a peaceful Iraq? How about a cure for AIDS and cancer? An end to child suffering? If you need more candles, I'd be happy to send you some.Iris Anderson said Harold and the couple's two daughters were also starting to lose hope, especially when the search got scaled back.
"I think he kind of reconciled that she was gone and in heaven with her son who died years ago," she said.
But Iris Anderson said she had a strong sense that Doris was alive, but hidden in the brush. She lit candles and asked to God to help.
"My prayers are always answered, always," she said.
Come on, lady, get praying!

You're missing an important point there, ip. Her prayers ARE always answered. But sometimes, He says no!
Christian "logic."
I know that argument and tried to work it into my post, but clearly that's not what she means. She believes her prayers are always answered in the affirmative. Otherwise, even to her, her sentence makes no sense.
