Terror strikes Oslo

When I saw the live recording from the bombing in Oslo it was difficult to understand that something like this could happen in peaceful Norway.
The Norwegian TV-channels broadcasted live from the streets, it looked unreal....
A government building in downtown Oslo severely damaged by a car-bomb, people screaming in pain and fear. Reports came in of casualties.









An hour later the report came of a shooting-incident at Utøya, where the Labour Party held their annual youth camp. At first they reported 9-10 dead.
Then reports came from surviving youths...it was a massacre. One man, disguised as a police officer had shot and massacred innocent youths, not stopping until at least 68 youths were dead.








This quote from one of the survivors of Utøya, Stine Renate Håheim, gives me strength and comfort in this troubled time: "If one man can show so much hate, think how much love we all can show together".

I am thankful that my family are safe and unharmed. My heart ache for those who lost their life because of this tragic cowardly terror-act, and for those who have lost their loved ones.

I pray that they will find strength to make it through this difficult time.
