Well, that is me today.
Since Sunday I have been thinking and rethinking about the death of Usama Bin Laden. You may see some posts from me about it if I can organize my thoughts in a presentable fashion, but for now it is just giving me a headache. I was praying the other night that God would give me the right perspective about Bin Laden's death since so many Christians and Godly teachers seem to have opposing views.
I know that in a couple of weeks people will be past this "victory" and back to our self-centered lives, but I believe we need to have a Christ-like view of world events. I think we need to know what we think and why! I do not just want to push these struggles I am having inside away or just go along with what others are saying. Like other things- even if I reach the same conclusion as another blog I read, I still want to know that it was Christ working in me and not just a lazy way out.
I also caught a few minutes of Rachael Ray when I was looking for the news this morning. I do not usually have the TV on at this time of day and now I know why. I know a lot of people that like her show. It is something to watch for recipes, fashion tips and decorating ideas. You can watch it while cleaning or folding laundry. Me? I just wanted to throw something at the TV.
This morning I have been working on a ton of emails. I am in charge of the administrative side of a few Junior High events. One of them will be finished in two weeks, praise the Lord, but then another slew of summer events will begin. And I feel tired already!

I too have been struggling with the news. On one hand I am proud of the freedom our military provides. I grew up in the Navy. Being raised in the military makes one very honored to be in America and proud of victories that protect us against future harm. Yet. . .
With the death of Osama Bin Laden, I have had a stirring inside as if the Holy Ghost is telling me something. Osama Bin Laden was a human, One who killed and terrorized others, but human. So what am I supposed to think of this, I want to support my military and thank them ye t am I supposed to rejoice in the death of another? I'm torn, I feel heartbroken that another soul has died, one I wish knew my Saviour. I agree we are safer without the hatred Osama Bin Laden taught, but again, why do I feel God is saying something here? Is this what you are feeling?
