We must move from asking God to take care of the things that are breaking our hearts, to praying about the things that are breaking His heart.
~~~~~Margaret GibbThe morning of September 11, 2001 brought utter disbelief to myself and so many others. It was a life changing event for those who were caught in the immediate results of the actions of 19 terrorist who thought they could bring us to our knees. Yes, it brought us to our knees...knees in prayerful repose. But then, we rose up in unity. We are the UNITED States of America. We will stand strong. We will never forget.
It's been a long 10 years from that day. Yet, it's gone by in a blink of an eye. Today, we remember those who lost their lives on 9-11, and the lives given in the defense of our Nation so that September 11, 2001 will be the last time we awaken to such a day.
