James Kim

James Kim was found dead today. For those of you who don't know, he was the man who's family got lost on a road near the Oregon coast during Thanksgiving. It was snowy, wintery weather when their car got lost. He elected to leave his wife and kids while he tried to hike out for help. His wife and kids were found alive 2 days ago. Today, his body was found.

I'm thinking about this from a father's perspective. If our family was caught in the same situation, I also would have left to find help. I laso would have been gratified to know that my family survived, even if I didn't. That is a father's job, after all, to take care of and protect his family. I have no idea if James Kim was a believer in Jesus Christ or not, but I believe there was enough of the Spirit of God in him that he knew he might have to make the ultimate sacrifice for his family.
