Today is May 1st. 8 years ago, President Bush made a "mission accomplished" speech.
Tonight, we heard news that Osama Bin Laden was killed, and we have the dna (and BODY) to prove it's actually him. Holy moly.
Lots of emotions running through me tonight. Feeling a little weird cheering about someone's death, but then I think of all the people who died on 9/11, how Osama claimed he wouldn't quit until we were ALL dead, that they (Al Queda) would keep doing their terrorist attacks...and suddenly I don't feel so bad. I am not the moral police, but I feel very confident that God is just and is judging him accordingly tonight.
I feel very happy for the 9/11 survivors, for those who were left without their loved ones, for those who lost a loved one overseas as they served in our military to keep us safe and defend us. For them, I pray that tonight is a historic moment and a new step in their healing process. God bless our military troops and the joy they must be feeling tonight.
