Freedom is still a privilage




The events of early this morning (daytime in London) are shocking and frustrating.

In a world where so many people are not at peace, why would people want to do this? This question has plagued man for years. My view is that when we look at this and other events from our own "limited" perspective, we just don't have the experience to help correct the situation.

Consider this - we working diligently to bring FREEDOM to Iraq. The question is why? Basically, because we feel that democracy works for us, it should work for others. Someone once pointed out, how do you really know what freedoms are until you've enjoyed them? Most in that country don't understand what they are fighting, correction what we're fighting for.

My eyes were opened once I had the opportunity to travel the world. Having spent a few years of my life doing that, I have a greater appreciation for what I enjoy, my FREEDOM.

I pray that those injured will heal quickly. I pray that those families who've lost loved ones will be comforted. I pray that as a world community we will one day be able to understand one another in more meaningful ways.
