Reflections on May 1, 2010
There is a lot going on right now! Last Wednesday the Southeast US was ravaged by tornadoes and storms. This morning, we kicked off our 90 Day Challenge. I have many things I want to share with you. But all of that was overshadowed tonight by the news that US Special Forces had killed Osama Bin Laden.
I don't know that I can put into words my reaction to this news. It is overwhelming. I know that there are more terrorists out there, and that this not the end of threats to our country. But Bin Laden, the architect of 9/11, is a powerful symbol of how our lives have changed since that September day.
I am relieved that Osama bin Laden is dead. Its my earnest prayer that his death allows some of the scars & pain of 9/11 to heal, and brings some closure to ten years of grief. I believe that is a good thing that his evil can no longer affect the world.
I am also immensely grateful for & proud of our military, who have and who continue to risk their lives for our safety. May God bring you all safely home to your families.
I am also reminded of Jesus' command to pray for enemies. That's not easy for me, especially when I think of someone as evil as Bin Laden and those who continue his work. And so I start by asking God to give me the strength to pray for those I call enemies.

I beleive when Jesus says to pray for our enemies, it is because many times we, ourselves, are enemies in our enemies' eyes as well. Osama did bad to attack the US, but the US was no saint to arabic countries either. If killing Osama brings peace to families of 9/11 victims, then killing most of our presidents and white house staff, along with loyal soldiers, just might bring peace to all the innocent children, countless more than the victims of 9/11 and their families together, and the countless other innocent Iraqis who died for no cause.
