Dark Heart
by Birdwell
9/3/02

I'm watching a programme on PBS called Faith and Doubt. It's about the loss of faith surrounding September 11. I hear the same refrain I hear when other heinous, unthinkable things occur. "How could God let this happen?" "What sort of God would let this happen?"

I just thought when I heard that--I felt...I think I could feel God weeping. I'm glad I am not in his shoes. It must be so hard to sit by and let his children choose evil...choose incorrectly. I wonder...because it hasn't been covered, but how many people lived because they heard a still, small voice tell them to stay home, or spend a few extra minutes in the coffee shop. I believe that God has to allow people their free agency, but he allows his spirit to reach those who listen, to warn them...to help avoid tragedy.

Of course, I also heard of bizzare instances where no matter what some did, they still perished on 9-11. It was time to go home.

My big concern, is how best to explain to my children when they are old enough to understand, what happened that day and how the world they live in is not the same as it once was.

I also feel, that 9-11...is just a long chain of events reaching from the beginning of time...many horrible things have happened...why really is this any different. Perhaps, it just matters how we live now...and what we take from that day.
