It’s unfortunate that this year’s 9/11 memorials are over-shadowed by a selfish, so-called pastor that is eager for attention from the press. He does not represent me, my country or my God. Because we’re better than that. What does represent my God is forgiveness, grace and mercy.
But enough about him.
I don’t think it’s healthy to dwell on the past. But I don’t think we should forget it, either. While I love living in England, today is a day I wish I was home. I really liked going to 9-11 memorial services when I was in New York. I think it helps to bring us back to earth a little… helps us remember the love we have for our country and stop squabbling over politics, even for just one day. I like that.
So, for today, no politics. Just patriotism. Pride. Loyalty. Love.
God Bless the USA.
“Time is passing. Yet for the United States of America we will never forget September the 11th. We will remember every rescuer that died in honor. We will remember every family that lives in grief. We will remember the fire and ash, the last phone calls, the funerals of the children.”
AMEN
