may 1st. busy day.
school picnic. lots of laundry.
finally bedtime.
watching t.v.
the 'special report' music came on.
my heart sank. since i have been a kid, i have hated that noise.
it never is good news. or up beat news.
always something scarey.
adam and i perked our ears to see....
OSAMA bIN LADEN IS DEAD.
What?
When did this happen?
How did this happen?
OH MY GOODNESS....
silence. we had nothing to say.
all the memories of this horrible mans actions came flooding back.
we were glued to the tv for an hour.
President Obama came on to explain.
people were shown outside of the White House 'celebrating'.
I just couldn't feel the excitment.
I felt the relief, the weight of the monster man, the mega-mind of so many sinful acts, gone.
but i wasn't celebrating.
both adam and i were very quiet.
'what comes next', i said.
'who's the next HIM?'
adam of course said, 'i don't know, we don't need to worry about that'....(he's always calm and smooth like that)
all day, i peeked at yahoo and fox news to read and see the pictures.
i salute the men that brought him down.
if i could hug them i would.
i get teary eyed--the admiration for the military is just too much sometimes for me to handle.
but, the men, aren't celebrating either. (i don't think...)
they simply did their jobs.
put their faith in God.
stormed the devils workshop, and brought justice and closure to a terrible, terrible situation.
i know that the two people that read this are thinking, 'oh dear sara, you are really off your rocker'...that is okay.
i know that no one really reads this thing...
but i'm saying, right here and now,
my prayers have all night (i didn't sleep much) and all day been for the families that lost loved ones in 9-11, those fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan, and for the special unit that carried out this very successful and heroic act. i pray that my children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren NEVER have to deal with such an evil being...i pray for the continued safety of all our military...i pray for our nations safety.
God was truly watching over everyone. He always does.
i'm stepping down now....off of my soapbox.
~chat soon!
