The above pictures are of the site of the Oklahoma City bombing. I can't believe it has been 13 years in April. How often we forget what happened in the past. Even after so many years my heart was broken realizing how many lives were lost because of three people. The picture right above is a wall in front of the memorial museum of different writings and drawings of kids to show their concern. On one side of the building that still stands is the writing of team 5 that showed up. The picture of the elm tree above still stands after the bombing and they honor it as the symbol of human resilance; "The spirit of this city and this nation will not be defeated; our deeply rooted faith sustains us." This is the writing near the tree. The fence is a fence for passer byers to leave tokens of love and rememberance to the lost lives. The Jesus statue stands across the street where there is a church and the parsonage was destroyed during the bombing and the pastor of the church had this Jesus statue put on the corner where the parsonage was and it says "Jesus Wept." Can you imagine how many times a day Jesus weeps for us sinners here on earth. It was truly heart breaking to know that 168 lives were lost and out of those there were 19 children. God tells us to forgive but it sure is hard when children's lives were lost. Innocent children...I just sometimes don't understand it all but I am going to trust in God and keep the faith. Keep smiling!!!
