Our prayers are going out...

Let's all say a prayer that any attempts at terror attacks are foiled. I'm grateful that the British authorities were on top of their game enough to detect this plan just in time, but a little frustrated that it got as far as it did.

I'm very curious as to how, when the plan progressed as far as to allow the suspected terrorists to actually get through security, how did it happen that British officials were able to interfere just in time? What happened between the time that the terrorists got through security and the law enforcement intercepted them, and why didn't that happen earlier? I realize that when it comes to national security, there are things that we will never ever know, but I think it would put my mind a little bit at ease if I understood some of the intelligence that they are working with. However, more than that, I wish for the secrets that must be kept secret so as not to reveal security plans be left alone.

God be with us all.

And it goes without saying that I include all countries in this prayer. Terror attacks happen every day it seems, in the middle east and they are no less in need of our prayers than America and Great Britain. I admit that I become numb, almost immune, to the horror of them all because they happen so frequently.

I had the same questions as well. I wondered if they allowed the terrorists to actually go through with part of the plot in order to build a case against them? This situation has wrecked havoc with the airports in England especially Heathrow in which people have to wait so long before they can actually make it into the airports. I have seen news reports of people standing in the rain, as well as those that are hungry and without water. Horrible situation, indeed. Went into London yesterday, people are taking it in stride. Lots of shoppers and tourists. Miss ya much and I want to join the bookclub as well. Great blog!!!
