September 11, 2001 will forever go down in history,
along with many other tragedies.
It was the day that fellow human beings
took into their own hands, the power
over life and death. They came to our country,
hijacked four airplanes full of innocent people
and set out on their suicide missions of terror.
They first struck New York's World Trade Center,
first one tower, then less than 30 minutes later, struck
the other tower. Within minutes, many people had
died and many others were injured and trapped.
The nation watched in horror.
Next came the Pentagon, a portion was destroyed,
killing more innocent people.
The fourth plane was presumably on it's way
to the White House, when the courageous
men on that flight joined together to overthrow
their hijackers. The plan crashed in a field,
killing everyone, but saving many.

I can only ask, "Why?"
I know this is a common question.
How can anyone be so full of hate, anger, and Satan
himself, to do such harm?
I guess we will never know the answers
to these questions, however, it will
not stop our wondering.

I just want to take the time, now, to honor those
who have died so senselessly.

This candle will forever burn for them.
 
 








 
 

New York City before today. The twin towers of
the World Trade Center standly proudly.

 

This began around 9 a.m. New York Time.

        
 



The Pentagon. The damage is devastating.

 
 
 

We all have tears in our eyes from this tragedy.

 
 


 


 


 
 



God Be With Us All

He is the First and Last, the Beginning and the End!
He is the keeper of Creation and the Creator of all!
He is the Architect of the universe and
The Manager of all times.
He always was, He always is, and He always will be...
Unmoved, Unchanged, Undefeated, and never Undone!
He was bruised and brought healing!
He was pierced and eased pain!
He was persecuted and brought freedom!
He was dead and brought life!
He is risen and brings power!
He reigns and brings Peace!
The world can't understand him,
The armies can't defeat Him,
The schools can't explain Him, and
The leaders can't ignore Him.
Herod couldn't kill Him,
 The Pharisees couldn't confuse Him, and
The people couldn't hold Him!
Nero couldn't crush Him,
Hitler couldn't silence Him,
The New Age can't replace Him, and
Donahue can't explain Him away!
He is light, love, longevity, and Lord.
He is goodness, Kindness, Gentleness, and God.
He is Holy, Righteous, mighty, powerful, and pure.
His ways are right,
His word is eternal,
His will is unchanging, and
His mind is on me.
He is my Redeemer,
He is my Savior,
He is my guide, and
He is my peace!
He is my Joy,
He is my comfort,
He is my Lord, and
He rules my life!
I serve Him because His bond is love,
 His burden is light, and
His goal for me is abundant life.
I follow Him because He is the wisdom of the wise,
The power of the powerful,
 The ancient of days, the ruler of rulers,
The leader of leaders, the overseer of the overcomers, and
The sovereign Lord of all that was and is and is to come.
And if that seems impressive to you, try this for size.
His goal is a relationship with ME!
 He will never leave me,
Never forsake me,
 Never mislead me,
Never forget me,
 Never overlook me, and
Never cancel my appointment in His appointment book!
When I fall, He lifts me up!
When I fail, He forgives!
When I am weak, He is strong!
When I am lost, He is the way!
When I am afraid, He is my courage!
When I stumble, He steadies me!
When I am hurt, He heals me!
When I am broken, He mends me!
When I am blind, He leads me!
When I am hungry, He feeds me!
When I face trials, He is with me!
When I face persecution, He shields me!
When I face problems, He comforts me!
When I face loss, He provides for me!
When I face Death, He carries me Home!
He is everything for everybody, everywhere,
 Every time, and every way.
He is God, He is faithful.
I am His, and He is mine!
My Father in heaven can whip the father of this world.
 So, if you're wondering why I feel so secure, understand this...
He said it and that settles it.
God is in control, I am on His side, and
 That means all is well with my soul.
Everyday is a blessing for GOD Is!
 




Our Heroes In Blue
 
We gather today to remember,
The sacrifices our loved ones have made,
We will never forget those loved ones,
And the terrible price they have paid,
Their courage, dedication and
professionalism,
Will forever be alive in our hearts,
May God, in His infinite power,
Help mend those broken parts,
There is no greater pain,
Than the loss of those we love,
But we pray you will find inner strength,
With guidance from the Lord above,
It's a very tough journey you are faced with,
But together we can all make it through,
So we gather today to remember and share,
The love for Our Heroes in Blue,
We know they are watching us now,
And are so proud that you're all here,
They would like to see smiles and not sadness,
See hope in your eyes and not fear,
They are at peace with the Lord up in heaven,
And they would like to be at peace too,
They know in their hearts how we miss them,
And they want you to know they miss you,
May you all find some solace in knowing,
That in God's eyes they did not die in vain,
They gave their lives doing a job they believed in,
And it hurts them to see you in pain,
So as we pray for those loved ones we lost,
They would also like us to pray too,
For the brave men and women still out there,
Their Brothers and Sisters in Blue.

God Bless all of the policeman, fireman, rescuers,
volunteers, paramedics, doctors, nurses,
and everyone who have leant their hands
for the service of their fellow Americans in this
most horrific time.

God Bless our leaders of this great country.
May they make the right decisions according
to Your Will. May they bring the guilty
to justice and bring peace back to our land.

In Jesus Name, Amen!


Thanks, Rachel
