Too close for comfort

This week we experienced a scare in North Austin that seemed like a plot out of a movie.  As everyone has heard by now, a man crashed a plane into an office building, killing himself and one other person.

This man literally lived down the street from us.  We run past his house on our neighborhood jogs.  Yesterday, I ran past the skeleton of the house that remained  as 3 police officers stood guard.  What a weird feeling…to be that close to such craziness and desperation.  To know that in the tree-lined streets full of brick houses that a father and husband  is plotting to murder hundreds of people and ruin the life of his own family – its just too much to comprehend.

God’s grace was upon North Austin on Thursday.  Although we are praying for the families of the victims and the family of the crazed pilot – we thank God for his protection.
