Today the world is grieving
No victory displayed
Cowards filled with hatred
Your evil souls enslaved

You took away God's children
No matter race or creed
Violated freedom
Such evil in this deed

You showed a nation horror
With innocents you chose
The cowards of the evil ones
With hatred ~ no values

You never will destroy us
You only made us strong
Only showed with evil
What is right and wrong

In a world of freedom
That has the very best
Nations born with dignity
Each one of them our guest

No matter what religion
Color faith or creed
We all are all united
From evil that you breed

You may kill our loved ones
Without a single thought
You can't destroy our nation
For freedom we have fought

America is strong now
With dignity and pride
Mountains hills and oceans
Our eagle flies worldwide.

I pray for all Americans who suffered that day. Our lives are forever changed by the hatred in the world, and in some ways we are all the better because of it. We are showing our "American Pride" more and we are all coming together as one. 

E Pluribus Unum

When we suffer, the rest of the world suffers with us! 

Let us always remember these precious children whose lives were cut short because of the evil in the world.  I have begun to hug my child more and have learned to listen, even if it seems unimportant. 

May we also remember the Police Officers who lost their lives and pray for the families they left behind. May God bless them with a little happiness this Christmas Season.

We will never forget the Fire Fighters and our prayers will forever be with their families. We ask of God to keep them firmly in his grasp during the Holiday Season.

To all the other victims'  families, May they have the strength to go on and be strong knowing that "America" is praying for them.

MEET ME IN THE STAIRWELL "

You say you will never forget where you were when you heard the news On September 11, 2001.
Neither will I.

I was on the 110th floor in a smoke filled room with
a man who called his wife to say "Good-Bye."
I held his fingers steady as he dialed.
I gave him the peace to say, "Honey, I am not going to make it,
but it is OK...I am ready to go."

I was with his wife when he called
as she fed breakfast to their children.
I held her up as she tried to understand his words
and as she realized he wasn't coming home that night.

I was in the stairwell of the 23rd floor
when a woman cried out to Me for help.
"I have been knocking on the door of your heart for 50 years!"
I said. "Of course I will show you the way home -
only believe in Me now."

I was at the base of the building with the pastor
ministering to the injured and devastated souls.
I took him home to tend to his Flock in Heaven.
He heard my voice and answered.

I was on all four of those planes, in every seat,
with every prayer. I was with the crew as they were
overtaken. I was in the very hearts of the believers
there, comforting and assuring them that their faith
has saved them.

I was in Texas, Kansas, London.
I was standing next to you when you heard the terrible news.
Did you sense Me?

I want you to know that I saw every face.
I knew every name - though not all know Me.
Some met Me for the first time on the 86th floor.

Some sought Me with their last breath.

Some couldn't hear Me calling to them through the smoke and flames;
"Come to Me... this way... take my hand."
Some chose, for the final time, to ignore Me.
But, I was there.

I did not place you in the Tower that day.
You may not know why, but I do.
However, if you were there in that explosive
moment in time, would you have reached for Me?

September 11, 2001 was not the end of the journey for you.
But someday your journey will end.
And I will be there for you as well.
Seek Me now while I may be found.
Then, at any moment, you know you are "ready to go."
I will be in the stairwell of your final moments.

"God"
