It was really difficult but on that morning on my walk God reminded me that God created Osama and he too was once a tiny little baby that the Lord wanted in his family. God also said Jesus died on the cross for him equally as much as He died for me and my sins. He gave us ALL free will to choose Jesus, even Osama. I just prayed for forgiveness because He forgave me. At first it was hard to do but we are commanded to do so and then I felt blessed to be loved by such a wonderful God who forgives all if we just surrender and ask with repentance. I think there would be much less illness and loneliness in this world if we just forgive those who trespass against us. Thank you for the Word! Pastor Kent:

Back to serious business, OBL and the topic of revenge. The people who were celebrating Osama’s death have probably all gone back to work or school and continued on with their lives. When hate or revenge consumes you it’s ALL you think about. You never get even, you still want more. It is uncomforting to know there are people like that in the world. I’m looking forward to the real peace that passes all understanding. Peace!

(Disclaimer: I'm prior military) I'm thinking they were celebrating that the war in Afghanistan is coming to an end and the mission will soon be over. American service men and women will be coming home alive. There's just a little less hate in the world today! The world's a little better place without OBL. Some people react and they can choose to show their emotions if they want to. Others can think about what just happened. Like an electronics teacher once said, “There are 11 types of people in the world. Those that understand binary and those that don’t”.
