Terrorist Threat!

Putin has announced that he will have 150,000 security officers in place for the Olympics.  Yet how much will ever be enough security for the terrorist threat that only needs one moment? 

As we pass by MLK Day, it seems to remind us that security only comes when we realize that we will never ever have sufficient forces to make us safe.  Each person takes a risk to live each day--and that includes outside the terror zone--which for some can be anywhere.

"Be wise as serpents but innocent as dove," Jesus says--don't be foolhardy, but don't turn into a serpent yourself by daring someone to break through your security.  There is also the Christian Ethic that real security is not what we ultimately can prevent, but recognizing who and whose we are.  We need not live with a bunker mentality.  We can still drive on the roads knowing that at anytime, we are walking a very fine line which can become an accident waiting to happen.,  We walk toward Jerusalem, knowing that Jerusalem is always there--knowing, believing and having faith that the road leads past Jerusalem and the Cross to the Garden of the Resurrection.
