Torn

After hearing the news of Osama bin Laden's death, and thinking about it today, I'm not really sure how I really feel.

1. As a patriotic American, there's a part of me that wants to dance and shout in victory.

2. As a Christian, there's a part of me that is grieving that another soul has died without knowing the truth of salvation in Jesus.

3. As a realist, there's a part of me that says it's really not over. We still have to deal with al-Qaida and its current leaders.

I have listened to the conversations at work, on the radio, and in the grocery store. There's some marvelous stories being made up. People who have no way of knowing are coming up with details of what happened a half a world away.

I have listened to people praise and denigrate both former President Bush and President Obama. I am amazed at the amount of uninformed stupidity that is coming out.

I am determined, at this point, to just pray, as I have been praying: that there will be peace in Jerusalem, that God's people around the world will be kept in the palm of His Hand, and that Truth will be made known.
