Shock...

I was sitting in our little coffee shop enjoying a few moments of peace and quiet, my tall dark mocha, and my bagel with cream cheese, when my mobile phone started playing music. I answered the phone and was really pleased to hear the voice of my good friend John calling from the United Kingdom. We talked for a few moments and then he told me. London had been hit by a terrorist attack. My quiet morning was over. I sat there in shock. It almost didn't seem real to think that not too far away a number of bombs had rocked the city's underground transport system. Things remained quiet in the little coffee shop - no one knew the news yet. I said a quick prayer, talked with my friends working in the shop, and then headed off to find a TV or radio in order to get more information. I just don't understand how someone could be involved in such a senseless act. It wasn't aimed at a politician, or the military, but rather was aimed at people from all religions and people from all walks of life. I have ridden the London underground numerous of times. There are Muslims, Christians, Hindus, and atheists all crammed in a small car... I just don't understand how someone could think that by killing people that were simply going about their daily lives could be what God wants. What kind of god is that? We are very sad to hear all that is going on in London. We are very sad for all those that have lost loved ones. We only pray that some Good would come from this and that it would be used to speak to people's hearts about what is truly important. We do not know if all of our friends in London are ok yet. We keep checking our email... Praying... And waiting. We will let you know as soon as we hear something.
