Remembering September 11, 2001

September 11, 2001, is a day engraved in the memory of every American. It was truly a day of sadness and extreme tragedy. A day that the United States of America was attacked by terriorists. A day that changed America forever.

Five years ago on September 11 a wake-up call sounded out loud and clear for America; a call to think about life and death; a call to cherish family and friends, a call to share the Good News of Jesus Christ; and a call to pray.

It seemed that the world stood still on this day as many hundreds of lives were snuffed out--men, women, and children. Let us not forget this day!

"Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? No, in all things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 8:35, 37-39 (NIV)

Thank you, God, for the brave men and women who are fighting today on foreign soil for OUR FREEDOM! Protect them and keep them safe. Thank you for the love you have for every one of them. Amen

  • Sissy, What an awesome blog. It is so true. This should be a wake up call for everyone to get close to God and to make sure everything is lined up in their lives. It goes to prove that our lives are so vulnerable and so fragile and can be snuffed out in a second. My mother's death is a tragic example. The families affected by the events on September 11, 2001 will NEVER be the same again, but we do have hope for the future through the Lord Jesus Christ. We must be ready to meet our maker at every turn. Today could be the day He will chose for us to answer for our lives. GOD BLESS AMERICA and let us all continue to pray each and everyday for our leaders in the US as well as our military and the nation as a whole to get ready for Christ's soon return. I LOVE YOU, JB
