The Bible says that the wicked and evil will continue to get worse and worse and are decieved by the prince of the power of the air....which is satan. It is the thief that comes to steal, kill, and destroy. It is to be expected and to continue to get worse. It is sad that so many yield their self to his control, but it will get much worse, before it gets better.

I'm not questioning the existence of evil; I just don't understand the train of thought that leads a person to come to the conclusion that this is any way to behave. People are generally pretty self-centered creatures; they do what they do because they believe it in some way benefits them. I can understand crimes committed because of greed, or jealousy, but what does a person who destroys the lives of random, innocent victims get out of it? Is it just a power trip? Even misguided acts of "revenge" make some sort of sense, but how the person who does this sort of thing thinks it makes anything better for anyone, or is even worth the energy they invest in it, is beyond me.

It certainly makes ya wonder, but history is full of examples, unfortunately.

Sourland, it's not exactly that I'm sorry he's dead, and I'm glad it's over and he's no longer a threat. I'm also fine with not financing his life in prison. I don't even know that I'd go back and change things to leave him alive, were it in my power. But something that ends with death, even if a deserved death, leaves me saddened. In this case, also grateful and relieved. But still saddened.

I know that I am old, and jaded, but along with that has come the conclusion on my part that in some cases death is earned. One of my pet peeves has always been those who travel through life as if their actions have no impact on others. But to do intentional harm to others is beyond my comprehension.

How much snow did you end up with @Sourland ?

Sour I hope your snow melts and runs off soon. Then maybe you won’t shoot the cardinal. LOL We are having 70’s during the day 40’s at night. Clear and sunny.

As a peace offering I made coffee and cinnamon toast. Please don’t shoot, I promise not to sing.

Got a foot of snow, and the cardinal is still singing, "Spring, spring, spring." Driveway is plowed, sidewalk shoveled, deck 'sorta' shoveled, and vehicles cleared of snow. Princess is heading to town, and I am taking a dog to a handler heading to a field trial this weekend.

I hope it melts fast for you sour. Should be reasonably warm down your way, right?

Got into the high 40's today, and snow settled quite a bit. Sun has a lot of warmth already.

Coffee is ready. I sure want some Cocoa Puffs cereal.
