Sunny Days in Heaven Spiritual/Political/Philosophical Blog on the Nature of Truth and Falsehood and Heaven |
Thursday, May 27, 2004 He will dry every eye It is bad enough that children and women are caught in crossfires in Iraq (or elsewhere) or used as shields by terrorists and killed, or in proximity to bombs and ordnance during war when they aren't intended victims, but haplessly are so. But this, this makes me simply cry. As a father, and co-parent to all children in the world -- this breaks my heart. The bodies of three young children -- one decapitated, two partially decapitated -- were found in an apartment in a quiet Northwest Baltimore neighborhood Thursday. . .Via Drudge One child was ten and the other two nine. Recently in Modesto a weird, polygamous father murdered almost all of his children from a number of women. Something like seven young children. There has to be a special place in Hell for such people, and yet, and yet, redemption, forgiveness, repentance opens the gate to Heaven even for Hitler. Life is simply strange and heartbreaking.
