I still remember that beautiful Tuesday morning, I was walking with my dear friend Pennie and her toddler son in her neighborhood. One of her neighbors came outside and told us that a plane had hit the World Trade Center.
That's how it began. Hopefully it has ended with the death of Bin Laden. A lot of people are wondering how to feel now. Should a Christian rejoice that another human being is dead? The answer is no. But still I rejoice. I apologize, but yes I am a Christian, but I am human and I am glad this man is dead. I pray for God's forgiveness that I feel this way. But am a glad he's dead. Yes. I am.
UPDATE:
Two weeks ago it was announced that Osama Bin Laden was dead and I wrote the post up there. Now, after two weeks of prayer I find that I am not rejoicing in his death. That indeed, it is not a Christian's place to rejoice over the death of anyone. I still have very complex feelings regarding his death. I will keep praying. Praying, too and especially for the families of those left behind after Bin Laden's crimes.
