Pondering

[kryptonitemonkey]

I've been reading an article from Boundless.org on the matter of the Tsunami this afternoon, and it's had me thinking. Whenever there is a tragedy, people seem to get the most worked up over the children who died, and in the tsunami it was like a third. I suppose I can somewhat understand it. Children embody innocence, their deaths are the cutting short of possibility and of potential. Yet, even so, I cannot muster sadness for the children to much degree. In fact, I find myself saddened more for the adults who have died. The case for this is a simple one. The thing is, there seems to be an age of accountability that until children reach it(different for each child I believe is the belief), God will not count their sins against them. I once read a very cool article discussing the belief and where it shows up in the Bible and such, which I cannot at the moment recall where, but it is unimportant. Needless to say, I believe it, and so, for a good many children who die, I feel almost relief, that though their lives have been cut short, most of them have not yet decided to turn away from God.
