This morning, Facebook is abuzz on the death of Osama bin Laden. Apparently last night, US military forces stormed his compound in Pakistan and in that action, bin Laden perished.
Today, though, instead of remembering and celebrating the death of one man, I remember and celebrate the lives of the 3000+ people that were murdered in New York City, Arlington, VA and Shanksville, PA. Those are the lives worth remembering.
The death of this man will not bring back those folks and will not provide closure to their families. I doubt that there will ever be anything this side of heaven that will grant closure.
May God grant peace and rest to those who lost their loved ones on September 11, 2001. Also, may God bless and protect our armed forces who put their lives in harm's way to protect the fragile peace of this world.
Peace
