Truth, justice, and the American way

About to start work this fine(and by fine, I mean BEAUTIFUL) Aberdeen day, but just wanted to post briefly(since I don’t have time for anything else!). Have a rather nasty headache this morning(ughhh, the side effects of the Fall…I’m blaming you, serpent!! …I mean…) but I did rather enjoy my four-day weekend. Royal wedding + stupendous Saturday/Sunday + bank holiday = Awesomeness!! Rounded off beautifully by seeing Steven again last night after his holiday back in Germany and knocking out three episodes of the Unit(along with frozen pizza goodness, of course!). And this week is about to get interesting, as work is crazy busy(hello Transocean project!)…AND I’m about to travel to Houston next week for job interviews. Pray for me. Oh I need wisdom!!

And since it’s now time for work, one more note…almost ten years after the events of 9/11/2001…Osama Bin Laden was found and killed this past weekend by an American spec-ops team. I’d like to write a bit more on my thoughts on this, but for now, I praise the Lord. I rejoice that our God is sovereign over all things and I exult in His righteous judgment. Our justice may be blind, but His is all-seeing and ever-knowing and always righteous. Our justice may be flawed and incomplete and marred by our own desires for revenge, but His is perfect and complete, coming from the only One who can claim vengeance. And so while I weep for sorrow at the wanton rebellion of this world and the righteous wrath past due, I say something that is never easy for me, as a sinful man, to say: “I rejoice in the justice of the Lord our God!!!”
