I was sad to see the attempted bombing of Flight 253 outside of Detroit. My oldest son travels to Finland next month to try out for a professional soccer team. Flight 253 began in Nigeria, went through Amsterdam then Detroit. The bomber had Al-Queda ties. A sad reminder of the terrorism we face today.
The article at Huffington Post made me realize my son's world will soon be an international world. There will be new challenges, security concerns and a need for a fresh awareness of what is taking place around him. It also reminded me of the practical need to have insurance need in place due to the uncertainties we face in life. It has equally reminded me that one day we will give an account of our lives before the Creator of this Universe.
I am thankful and happy no one was hurt on Flight 253. At the same time, it is indeed a grim, sad reminder of the passions that drive others to hurt and maim...sometimes in the name of the Lord.
