Horrible

I guess it's times when the world is in upheavel and people just decide to pray a little louder.

Some might question their faith when all they see on TV is death and destruction.

I read an article about the hostage takers in Russia. It was a very sad article.

A mother and her two children are taken hostage in the school. They let her leave, but with only one child. If she didn't leave they all would have been killed. How do you choose? Or do you? She choose to leave her older daughter behind and take her small son.

It reminds me of the story of the two mothers that are fighting over one baby. The King says well cut the baby in half. One of the mothers agrees. The other mother told the King to just give the other woman the baby - so that death would not occur. The King looked up at the mother who wanted the child split in half and knew she couldnt have been the mother. No true mother would have agreed.

But - someone was watching over this family.

She survived.

It is terrible when the terrorists or other perverts choose to traumatize and murder innocent children. I sympathize with those families in Russia and sent an email to George W. Bush along those lines. In the email I stated: "a grandmother is a grandmother the world over." I read yesterday that he visited the Russian Embassy unexpectedly to pay his respects. Maybe my email helped prod him a little.
