“No matter how hard we try, words simply cannot express the horror, the shock, and the revulsion we all feel over what took place in this nation on 9/11. My prayer today is that we will feel the loving arms of God wrapped around us, and will know in our hearts that He will never forsake us as we trust in Him.”

Will it be a stumbling block to others? Would I like to be there, or reading that, or be watching that, if Christ should return at that time?”
