It hasn't gotten better. It has gotten worse. It's in our
faces. Daily. TV, newspapers, Internet.
I can't explain nor express the array of emotions that
have made my heart grow even heavier. ISIS, Islamic terrorists, homegrown
terrorists, Hamas, Al Qaeda, Hezbollah, Taliban. These are the ones we
hear about. But, make no mistake, there are so many more.
It didn't begin on 9/11. That's when it got our attention.
That's when it became the reality of our lives. That's when the wave of
crumbling towers enveloped us in fear. That's when 'the religion', the 'cause',
the 'message', the 'hate', the 'duty' that drove the full force of terrorism
into our lives. Fear. Hope of survival.
It's war. It's global. Violence, assassinations,
bombings, beheadings, kidnappings, sucide attacks, rocket and mortar
attacks, hijackings, explosions. Chemical, biological, nuclear attacks to
come? Fear. Pure. Evil.
It's senseless. Killings of loved ones. Innocent
children, fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers, grandparents, friends. Millions
of refugees fleeing for their lives. For hope of survival.
Where does it end? Is it realistic that military actions and
reactions can put a dent in the war against terrorism?
Here's the thing, fear is what terrorists want. They thrive
on it, it rejuvenates them, they grow bolder, the cycle continues and strengens
and adapts. They plan and attack and destroy.
People, satan is destroying our lives. We need God. Now. The
One and only true God. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The Author of
the Word. And, there is hope. Hope of survival. Hope from and thru our
Lord and Savior. Hope in eternal life.
