Aftermath Now that our remembrance of September
11, 2001 is past, what lessons have we as
individuals and a nation learned? What has
changed since that frightful day? When America
realized that we are vulnerable to the hatred of
foreign and domestic terrorists we suddenly found
reason to fly our flag. It became a symbol
of unity, solidarity, and pride. Flags are
still flying on cars, at homes and various
institutions. We want people to know we are
proud Americans. We also became a praying
country. For a short while we turned to God
and asked Him to comfort those who suffered loss
and to bless our nation. We wanted God to
give us the victory over those who would do such
despicable acts as those on 9/11.
A year later I wonder if our
daily routines have not distracted us from
continuing to ask God to bless our nation.
There are still those needing comfort, our enemy
that destroyed so many lives has not been brought
to justice and our nation is still needing God to
bless it. I hope you are still
praying. More importantly I hope you have
given your life to Him. Only He can give
you what you are searching for.
Come see us Sunday.
Norm.
