9/11

First and foremost, my prayers are for those who lost loved ones that day ten years ago. May GOD bless you with comfort, good memories and HIS peace.

Many will gather to honor the victims and the heroes, both known and unknown. This is appropriate. Let no political rhetoric sully this day. It should be a time of reflection, remembrance, sorrow and hope.

Why hope?

Because once again GOD showed us that even amidst the evil that men do, HE can bring good from it.

We could have crumpled after such a blow but we didn't.

Instead, we used this moment of tragedy to draw nearer to one another. Churches were filled. Volunteers poured into serve at Ground Zero and elsewhere. Hands reached out to other hands that for a moment in time clasped back regardless of differences.

We were lifted up as a country by a sovereign GOD who carries us when we can't carry ourselves.
