God bless each of you on this significant day in United States history. Everybody has their story as to "where they were" when they heard or saw the news six years ago today. No one was or is the same after the fateful events that took place that day. No event in the past 60 years changed so many things in this country than what happened in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania in 2001. In an instant, everything changed for just about everyone. No one was immune from the impact of the day's events. One day did indeed change America forever. These were the things spoken by everyone in 2001.
Having said all this, look around you six years later. Has America really changed? Things are pretty much as they were six years ago for the vast majority of Americans. Very few people think much about 9-11 other than to wish it never happened. I fear most people have buried the images of that day deep in their minds, and have thrown away the keys. Although this is understandable, it is not a good thing.
I remember the words spoken so often six years ago; "We will never forget". Yet we have forgotten so much of the emotion, fear and feelings of vulnerability we felt as we watched our country being attacked for the first time. We have forgotten because there have been no more attacks. We have forgotten because so much time has elapsed without another disaster. The old feelings of invincibility and apathy have returned. This is not a good thing.
Soon, I will shock any of you daring to read these things with the truth about what the same people who carried out 9-11 have in store for the rest of us as soon as they get the signal to proceed. Let me tell you that it is not pleasant for those living near some of our largest cities.
I leave you today with these verses out of I Thessalonians 5.
"Now as to the times and the epochs, brethren, you have no need of anything to be written to you.
For you yourselves know full well that the day of the Lord will come just like a thief in in the night.
While they are saying, "Peace and safety!" then destruction will come upon them suddenly like labor pains upon a woman with child, and they will not escape.
But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day would overtake you like a thief;
for you are all sons of light and sons of day. We are not of night nor of darkness;
so then let us not sleep as others do, but let us be alert and sober."
I Thessalonians 5:1-6 NASB
God bless you and keep you in Christ Jesus.
