Death of Osama bin Laden

Unhappiness is an ego-created mental-emotional disease that has reached epidemic proportions. (Eckhart Tolle, A New Earth, p. 110)

... complaining about our oppressions and indignities only makes them loom larger and more disturbing. (One Day At A Time in Al-Anon, 15 March)

For the sake of our mental and spiritual health, we must realize that any emotion that is buried within us is never buried dead - but buried alive. (Selwyn Hughes, Every Day Light, Day 64)

Since we can control and direct our expectations why should we set ourselves up for disappointment? (after The Promise of a New Day, 14 March)

To face oneself is the most humiliating thing in the world. (William Barclay, The Letters to the Galatians and Ephesians, p. 135)

*****

Today, almost ten years after the terrorist attacks carried out against the United States by the henchmen of Osama bin Laden, the President announced that he was located in a fancy compound in Pakistan and killed by US Navy Seals. Congratulations and thanks to all of the people who worked to bring an end to this evil man.

Domestic Terrorism

Don't feast on negativity. (after Betty J. Eadie, Embraced By The Light, 8 December)

As he thinketh in his heart, so is he ... (Proverbs 23:7, Daily Guideposts 1990, 8 December)

There was another incident of domestic terrorism yesterday in Tucson, Arizona. Congresswoman, Gabrielle Giffords was severely wounded and others, including a child and federal judge, were killed. The shooter had posted some of his ranting on Facebook. Congresswoman Giffords was one of thirteen leaders marked with a cross-hair symbol on a map of the United States that was posted on a Sarah Palin PAC website. We all should be asking Sarah Palin what message she intended to convey with this image.
