By now the tragedy of the bombings in London have been all over the news. Hundreds and thousands of lives changed in the midst of doing nothing more than going about their daily routines. Innocent people caught up in the deadly ranting of fanatics. How could it not remind me of the tragic events of 911. This picture was one I took last night as a lark to be able to show folks that the subway in NY is still active and packed even at 11:00 at night. I could not have imagined how eerie a sight it would be to realize that Joanie and I had been in a subway only hours before the bombings in London took place. We live in a dangerous world - a fragile world. Our only real hope is in the life that is to come rather than the life that is now. Tragedy does not strike eternity. That's why the Book of Revelation says that there will be a new heaven and a new earth. The fragility and temporariness of this life will not go with us into the next. There we get to experience the fullness of God - and nothing can break the power of God in his fullness. Amen.
