Thoughts that are way too deep for midnight...

Osama bin Laden was killed tonight.

"Twitterverse" and the "blogosphere" or whatever they're called are lit up with exultant rejoicing over his death. A crowd of tourists (and probably residents) are gathered in the street across from the White House chanting "USA" and singing God Bless America and the National Anthem.

I don't think I can clearly state very well what I'm thinking and feeling right now. I just know that I'm heading to bed after watching Obama's speech with a very heavy heart.

This is going around on Twitter:
"Remember, Beloved, God has no pleasure in the death of the wicked. Ezekiel 18:23"
And then a pastor I follow and respect posted this:
"Don't let anyone's misinterpretation of isolated scriptures make you feel guilty about rejoicing in the triumph of good over evil."

And my heart is just heavy. So many have died because of one person's evil actions. That one person is dead, but the evil actions won't stop. We live in a fallen world, and we are broken people.

Yes, rejoice in the triumph of good over evil! But is this what it really looks like?

I guess I just don't want to be the kind of person who ever rejoices over someone dying who didn't know Jesus.
