Friends,
It is written here,[...how do I stop this?...Anger is kicking in...I guess that is a good sign all in all...].
Friends, in WW II, the Nazis bombed Coventry , England and London. The devistation at Coventry was horrible. Winston Churchill visited the ruins and said,"For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind."
He was quoting a verse from the Jewish scriptures from their book of Hosea. The verse, from the jewish perspective of many jews, and I think what Churchill was thinking , is that, [..Ok, the Nazis have obliterated Coventry, but there will be no proffit to them, for their wind that they have sown, will become a whirlwind for them to reap upon themselves...].
Later in the war, Churchill sent wave upon wave of the RAF bombers over the cities of Nazi Germany. What was a wind to the British, was a whirlwind to the Nazis. The bombs reached Hitler's bunker in Berlin where the war ended as Hiter and many of his constintuancy, committed suicde.
As I read the happenings in London today, I think of Winston Churchill that spoke the words of the prophet Hosea. And I also have anger when I read what has happened in London. But as the sun goes down tonight, I will remember the words of Winston Churchill, and when the sun comes up tomorrow, I hope that my anger will be gone.
