Mery Daniels is one of the 267 casualties at the Boston
marathon. Three wonderful people lost their lives including an 8 year old
child. For Mery’s part she lost part of her lower leg and now uses a prosthetic
leg.
Islamic terror has left its’ mark once again. Like the
aftermath in Kenya, where people are dedicated to destruction of others rather
than reaching out to human need and care. When it comes to religious belief we
need to look at the actions. People can say what they want but their actions
point to what they really believe.
In reading the article by there is no mention of religion
or faith in Mery’s life. That doesn’t mean there is or isn’t faith. But what we
do see is Mery’s actions being totally the opposite of the terrorists whose
bombs hurt so many. Mery Daniels came to our country from Haiti at the age of 13.
She now has to learn to balance on her prosthetic leg. Her therapist introduced
her to hand peddled bike where the balance is provided by the design of the
bike. I know the wonders of a recumbent bike that allows me to ride trails. Mery
bounced back and became a racier with a hand peddle bike. In the races she has
entered she has raise money for veterans and those who deal with autism. She is
doing something that helps her to rehab and benefit others. She has herself
become a racer and the injuries have motivated her to new activity. Mery is
helping others and show true courage and she rebuilds her life.
The challenge for the people of Islam is, Can they be a
part of rooting out evil that kills innocents? Can they like Mery, help others
in need who may be different in belief? Are they doing better in their
relationship with Hindus, Christians, Jews, atheists, agnostics, and animists?
Actions not words will tell us. Keep walking
