Our friends from church were awakened at 12:30 am to the sounds of knocking at their door. It was the fire department. They evacuated the couple and their three small children because the house was flooding. After church and a luncheon, Victor went down to see how he could help. They worked hard pulling up all of the carpet and cutting sheet rock to air out the wet walls. When Victor came home, he fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.
I was up alone when the news came across the wire:
Osama bin Ladin was finally found and killed by Navy Seals.
He was living in this house in Pakistan.
It is something we have been waiting ten long years to hear. Not that I am celebrating a man's death because I do think that is wrong. I am relieved that this person is no longer a threat to our country and the world. I am anxious to get word that the troops in Afghanistan will be able to come home.
