The week starts with a bang! 31 Days of May Challenge

By
Services for Real Estate Pros

I have been challenged to join up for the month of May.  Write a blog every day.  Well, I'm not certain I can make this challenge - but will try.

The most shocking news came across the tv tonight.  Our biggest enemy ( I am told) is dead.  Osama bin Laden that is.  The millionaire that had such a hatred for the US that he had thousands slaughtered.

Chanting folks are outside the Whitehouse, they are elated.

I too am happy that the man who has been taunting us, the Government and the world has come to justice.

I worry though.  I worry there will be more blood shed by innocent people in retaliation for this - misguided -- man's death.

April,

It's on the news right now, and I've been 'out of touch' for a bit, and just catching it now after dinner. I, too, wonder...

People are celebrating - as I agree that he was a horrible horrible man, it's hard for me to feel celebratory when ANY life is lost...

April, I think we all must be glad that Osama bin Laden is finally gone, but fear the retaliation that might take place as well.  We must all pray for our country and our military at home and abroad.

Michele - sounds like you had a late dinner!! The news interrupted a program I was watching about 10 minutes to 10!  Guess I'll have to wait to see the end.

Emily, I know what you mean.  I am happy that he is gone, but it is difficult to be happy about the loss of a life.  However I must remember the number of lives HE TOOK!

Joyce - It's difficult to believe he could hide out for nearly 10 years with a $25 M. price tag on his head!

April, I've joined the challange as well. Glad you mentioned it as I'm due to get todays offering in. As far as Bin Laden goes I really wish they would have taken him alive so he could sit and rott in a US prison for the rest of his life.
