On 9/11 evil boarded 4 planes. It sat a few rows away from parents with their 2 year old on the way to see family. It sat near a woman who'd promised her husband they'd celebrate his birthday when she returned. It sat near people who did not deserve to be singled out.
Evil.
Not dysfunctional, misguided, unloved, uneducated, misunderstood, poor, oppressed, sad, hopeless, depressed, stupid, jealous.
Evil.
It exists.
And it waits.
The sermon today at my church touched upon forgiving your enemy. I have to admit I'm not in a forgiving mood.
