And I just had to share my thoughts on Bin Laden's death.
As a wanna be historian, this is a huge day.
I remember where I was when I heard about 9/11.
I will always remember yesterday.
Steve pointed out that never in our life time have we been excited that someone is dead.
The capture and hanging of Sadame Hussian was terrible. It would be like killing Fidel Castor now.
Big deal. You killed a non-threatening person.
IMO.
But that's another story.
I think Bin Laden was the Hitler of our time.
I do not feel bad that he was killed. He choose to do bad things, and has been served justice.
These are one of the times where I could be on the other side of the veil and I wonder what it would have been like to see Bin Laden's crossing from life to death. Who greeted him. How he reacted when he learned the TRUTH and if any of his heroes were there to say, dude, you screwed up big time.
I wonder how he is reacting in his spirit prison (aka hell). If he even cares. I hope he gets to feel the death of those almost 3,000 souls that were lost on 9/11 over and over again. Plus the other thousands of people he had a hand in killing.
Yeah, that's where my head goes at times like these. What happens on the other side of things. Who greets those that have been monsters here on Earth, and how do they react when they learn the TRUTH of all things.
What happens now? I don't know.
Half me hopes that by his death, things will slow down. I was watching the Today Show this morning and they were doing a time line of all of Bin Laden's "works". He was very active for almost 20 years, then just stopped after 9/11. Either we got better and stopping him before anything bad happened, or he never really planned anything more, but was just running and hiding for his life.
I think the major head was cut off, that whoever steps up won't have the money that he did (I'm hoping that his money is no longer an issue) and that whatever is planned will be put out before it actually happens. I don't see a lot of the Muslims reacting bad towards us. They didn't like him either. Just the few weirdos that did, and I don't think they are as smart as he was.
So yeah, those are my thoughts. Thanks for reading them. If not, it's ok. I'll forgive you!
Happy Monday!
We know live in a world free of Osama Bin Laden. How weird is that?

Once I had Elizabeth, I knew I wanted 3-4 kids. I'd love to have all girls. I relate to the better. Plus I LOVE having a sister. So here's hoping you have your more girls too!
I'm with you on the farm as well. I desperately want to make our land work for us. Chickens, maybe a cow and lots of plants. We've got a small garden this year and hopefully next we'll just keep expanding. Best wishes from one farmer to be to another. :)
I have no idea what will happen to him now. But I do not think it will be what he believed it to be.
I like your goals. You will own a home one day. It was 16 years before we did. It will happen.
your head sounds as full as mine is. i have a long list of "it would be nice ifs...." too. hopefully you will find a home that fits your growing family. it can be tough, i know. as far as obl goes, i just have faith that he will be justly dealt with by God. i'm reading Ezekial right now. there's a lot in there about wickedness, sin, and punishment (as i'm sure you know). surely that's what he's in for, plus soooo much more.
You and I have a lot of the same plans/dreams/goals. We are moving and I so hope we can find a good place. I wish we were in the position to buy but we need to wait another year. I hate moving but we aren't happy here. Oh well.
I love to travel. I haven't done enough of it lately. I need to change that!
I really hope we can teach our kids to love God. Such a huge responsibility!
