Cell Phone Justice

Yesterday a bomb went off in M'lang, the place where I preached on Monday. It went off in the marketplace but only hurt one person the MILF terrorist who was carrying it. It seems that he had it all hooked up and ready to assemble when the cell phone he was using as a detonator received a text advertisement from the cell company about winning a contest. The bomber won alright with an injured arm and another loss in the battle for the fears of the general population. He only had it attached to the blasting cap and not the entire bomb or he would have not been around to be interrogated. The interrogation revealed other bombs that had been planted and they were quickly removed.

I love this story. It is another case of a bad crook, a stupid criminal a nervous terrorist. He was a terrorist ready to do damage but the only damage done was to his cause. Terror does not pay. Terror does not work. People will not be intimidated by such people who are willing to kill innocents in order to gain an upper hand in the psychological battle they conduct.

The mayor of M'lang is a Christian and a former graduate of SBC college where I spoke. He is standing for what is right. He is a target and needs our prayers. One of the bombs found was near his residence. It is not fair but who said life is fair.

Today I turn in my cell phone borrowed from Ed. It has some free text minutes on it and I am sure that Ed and Luz will get lots of use out of it. When I receive another one of those advertisements this morning I will not be as disgusted knowing that yesterday it spoiled a bombers attempt to do damage. We can call it cell phone justice.
