With so many lives lost in Russia over the past few days, I would like to express my sorrow for those whose lives were touched by this madness. Once more the hand of terror has reached out to claim yet another illusion of being safe.
I feel that this may have a profound effect upon our own lives, I pray that the gas used to free the hostages remains secret, for this information does not need to be in the wrong hands.
I will not say if the police acted rightly or not, I will say that some lives were saved and the terrorist were stopped, I am soory to see so little information being made public regarding this attack.
The American sniper made headlines for days, 13 american lives were lost, in Russia over one hundred died, yet there has been very little said regarding this great loss.
When will we learn that we are but one people?
We could live in a world of plenty, yet we have want.
We could live in a world of peace, yet we have war.
We could learn to love one another yet we insist on hate and fear....
I think Brother Love was right, we need to reach out to God to give us love and then reach out to our brothers and share that love.

So sorry to hear about that. Peace & May God be with their families at this time...

It was another BIG SIGN that we're one small world and we're all in this together. How many signs will it take?

We were dismayed that the news media told about how the hostages' use of cell phones helped police so much. Thanks to that reporting, from now on the hostage-takers won't let people keep their cell phones.

"Imagine there's no countries,
It isnt hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
No religion too,
Imagine all the people
living life in peace..."
