today

Or, rather, yesterday...depending on where you live, I suppose.
Either way, today's a weird day...


I checked Twitter "one last time" last night before putting my phone on it's little life-source, but was fueled by two tweets about the President speaking about national security soon and something about the 9-11 mastermind as I flew out of the bed to grab the remote(yes, we've a tv in the bedroom. of course we were told it's really bad for your marriage, but there's always an exception to the rule, right?). As Mace and I watched, the "breaking news" went from something about the President speaking shortly to the headline in this picture. Surreal. The carnal, vindictive part of me is glad glad he got what was coming to him, but the loving(because of Jesus) part of me is so sad that...well, sad that he probably got what was coming to him(and what would be coming to me if it weren't for Jesus). I'm also glad there is one less evil in the world. So, today's a weird day. Bittersweet, for sure...mostly for those who suffered because of him. I'm grateful that justice was served for the thousands of innocent people who were lost, and the loved ones they were ripped away from. Today, I'm grateful for justice and freedoms and mercy and grace. And boy, do I EVER want all people to know Jesus more than I have ever before. Also...I don't think it's overstepping to think it's probably a bittersweet day for God as well.
