Osama bin Laden was killed by an elite group of Navy SEALs and, like many people, my first reaction was "wow. " After that, however, things got a bit more complicated as I struggled with my human and patriotic feelings in the context of my faith. Politically and strategically, the United States achieved an important symbolic victory in the death of bin Laden. I remember well the night of Sept. 11, 2001, when our congregation put aside a previously scheduled event to pray for those who lost their lives in the terrorist attacks.

Once, years ago, while explaining the art of spiritual healing, a wise woman taught: "You can't speak of the spirit to someone lying in a wet bed. " Before invoking the awesome, the ethereal, the Ultimate, we have to change the sheets. The same holds true on a global scale.

Head Coach John Harbaugh likewise has asserted the same. As a follower of Jesus, I think the team's boldness is inspiring, and I appreciate how the coaches and players give glory to God.
