9/11

     Regardless of how old you are or what religious preference or difference you might have, on 9/11 life in America changed forever.  It was a day that I will never forget and many people who were alive will never forget.  Thousands of lives were lost and  and families were affected by devastation and tyranny. Our nation was visibly attacked in a way that has changed our every day culture. Now over 10 years later, we still feel  the effects of 9/11.  Travel across America and go to any airport you see and feel the effects.  Visit  New York City and  where the World Trade Center once stood tall and bright hovering over the city's skyline is now a place of memorial, remembrance and reflection.
      9/11 was meant to destroy and defeat us as Americans.  It was orchestrated to change our lives for the worst. It was meant to kill hope and destroy the possibility of recovery.  It was an attempt to bully us and frighten us but it did just the opposite.  Here is a quote from the former Mayor of NYC.

‎"The attacks of September 11th were intended to break our spirit. Instead we have emerged stronger and more unified. We feel renewed devotion to the principles of political, economic, and religious freedom, the rule of law and respect for human life. We are more determined than ever to live our lives in freedom." -Rudolph Giuliani, former mayor of NYC

     One lesson I learned from 9/11 is that the enemy does come but it is how we respond to a crisis and challenge  is how you overcome it.  " Our resolve is strong"  President Bush told us.  America United for a single purpose.  To rebuild and move on.  No, I am not a republican, but 9/11 made me proud to be an American and proud to say that America and freedom was still alive and no attack could change that. We were stronger than the buildings and we had the resolve to pick up and move ahead.

  Today, Bin Laden has been killed by the Obama administration.  Today, we watch  documentaries and films on what happened and we celebrate the heroes of the day.  Be mindful of this: 
"Your adversary(the enemy) walks to and fro seeking whom he may devour." but God!

2Peter 2:9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgement to be punished:"

Today we are stronger.  Today we are wiser.  Today, I celebrate the resolve of our great nation.  Today, I celebrate being a proud American because if you are in Christ, Greater is He in us than he who is in the world and without Christ our hope. God Bless America and God Bless You!
