Where Were You When the World Stopped Turning?


9/11 was fascinating to me, and it still is. There are certain images that will forever be etched in my memory.

This morning I woke up and watched some of the live feed of names of the fallen being read at Ground Zero. There were links to different articles, and one was of political cartoons. The first was appropriate for today, but then the next three were something along this line...

The Never Forgive part really caught me off guard. Nine years later, people still are holding onto grudges and hate. Sadly, I feel that those are what people are harboring more than the Never Forget part. Our country hasn’t forgotten. Not even close. However, our pride has deteriorated slowly over the past couple years. People will proudly be flying their flags today, but why isn’t is like that every day? Why is the pre-game National Anthem at sporting events only televised on July 4th and 9/11? Why don’t sports teams still have flag patches on their jerseys like they did after the attacks?

It makes me so sad that today has become focused on politics and religion and war when it really should be about remembering the fallen and the heros who have stepped up for this great country we live in. God Bless America.

Matthew 6:14-15

If you forgive others their transgressions, your heavenly Father will forgive you. But if you do not forgive others, neither will your Father forgive your transgressions.
