9-11 Memorial
9-11; it’s been ten years. Hard to believe that defining event was ten years ago; a decade has passed. The little kids in that class room with President Bush that day, are Seniors in High School. Over the years everything that can be said about that day, the days leading up to it, and all the days and events since has been said a hundred times. So, what do we say now? Ten years later, is there anything left to say? Is there anything left to do? All the “sermonizing” in the world will accomplish nothing. All the political posturing and political correctness has done little except make everyone paranoid to speak. So, we here at Rose City Church of the Nazarene do the most effective thing anyone can do - we choose to pray. We pray for all that remain, all that lost family, friends, and co-workers. We pray for all our national leaders. We pray for peace. In doing that, we find and choose to live in and with a endless hope. We firmly reject the hopelessness that is verbalized by so many. We believe in God. We believe that peace is possible. And we say with firm conviction, and humble hearts; may God truly bless America.
If you are interested in what comes from my brain (good luck), you can find it here. I think I have "enabled" the ability for people to respond or give an opinion. Please be nice and respectful to everyone that posts. I hope everyone contributes, and please be patient as I learn how this works.
