Commemorating the Victims of 9/11

As I ponder the issues now facing America, the many world problems, economy, presidential election, and the current stance of the war in Iraq; I would like to remember the victims of 9/11. Many of the victims were ordinary people like you and I. I think of the business people, news reporters, or families traveling on the airplanes or maybe the brave firefighters that went to the rescue of the people stranded in the burning World Trade Center buildings. What a courageous people we are in the United States! Even the innocent, courageous people onboard the flight that was headed for the White House, only to be diverted because we have such strong-willed, sacrificial people of the United States whom would rather die than see our great nation destroyed or taken over by terrorists!

I would like to take this moment to console the families of all the victims that I just named. Even those I did not mention. I would like for all of the families to know that, it was God’s purpose for that to happen. We do not know the day or the hour of our time however, we can do what is necessary to keep their memory alive and continue with our mission. Although they are not here in the physical, rest assured they are in the spirit. Be consoled because God is our consoler. May all of you be encouraged and it is my sincere prayer that you continue to know God. Give him all the glory and praise. Rejoice and know that they are in heaven. Try and focus on what they would have wanted done and what our charge is to continue to make the United States “the land of the freee and the home of the brave!” I do not know what pain or turmoil life has been for all the victims, but we are still here and “God bless America! “
