i can't believe the attacks on the world trade center & pentagon happened 10 years ago today. as many of you do, i remember the exact place i was and what i was doing and my reaction to what happened. i was in PE and we were getting ready to leave, when the announcement came over the intercome. i think my first reaction was some shock and then concern because that day my dad was on a trip flying and i remember feeling so scared.
this morning, i'm watching tv- as america remembers 9/11. it is a solemn remembrance, but also a joyful remembrance in that everyone who has been interviewed says over and over again that NY is stronger, this country is stronger because of 9/11. it reminds me in a way of the desperation and sadness we find ourselves in in our human condition and sin, yet God restores our souls and rescues us and gives us hope. This article gives insight from 9/11 and how it affected our nation and the church. i enjoy reading my pastor back home's blog. colehuffman.blogspot.com. read over this article! and then visit his blog.

if anything, remembering 9/11 gives perspective to anyone's life. what we prioritize, what we take for granted, why we are living, whom we are living for, etc. take time today to prioritize and be grateful. on a side note, a verse to share today: romans 8:6 for to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace.
