Thanks for stopping by and commenting. Peggy,

When? It is the waiting for that right time to make things right that vexes us, does it not? And the tension of what we can and should be doing in Jesus' name to protect the weak and helpless... Perhaps this is just another of those challenging already/not yet deals...Jesus already makes things right when his Body serves and loves, even though the time has not yet arrived when there will be no more tears and suffering. Christ, have mercy, indeed.... John,

I want some people incinerated! But if I wish that, then I wish for my own incineration, too. Lord, have mercy! Christ, have mercy! Sue,

Again, we have the tension—knowing that Jesus will bring justice agains the perps and, like Sue comments, hoping the perps find redemption in Jesus. These are issues that try our souls.

My first emotion was anger--as it should be at the horrors perpetrated upon the helpless. At the end, knowing what is coming, I felt pity for the perps--they have no notion of what is coming! There is justice in the cosmos! Powerful words. My first emotion was anger–as it should be at the horrors perpetrated upon the helpless.
