Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was at work when my wife called to let me know that an explosion had occurred at the World Trade Center. At the time, I did not understand the implications of the occurrence. Within an hour, many of the people at work were given the option to go home. Watching the news the entire evening with our children was a difficult but memorable experience. We had an opportunity to explain why evil exist in light of what the Bible teaches. More importantly, it provided a reference point for giving them an eternal perspective to the fallen nature of this world and the hope we have when Jesus Christ returns. I did not try to play down the tradegy of the moment or the importance of reacting responsibly to those that perpetrated the injustice. In many respects, although I would never wish the atrocity on any other human being, I'm glad my children were exposed to tragedy. They not only learned that tragedy happens to the "just and unjust" and that life is unfair, but more importantly, they can have the assurance that God will deal justly with evil.
