God bless you; May we pause tomorrow 9/11/06, at the 9:00 hour, and remember 9/11/01. May we pause and say a prayer for all whose hearts and lives were ripped asunder and whose pathways were forever altered by acts of hatred. May we remember the sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, fathers and mothers, grandfathers and grandmothers, who lost their lives and would never again come home to their loved-ones. May we remember the heroes who walked through the firey furnace and reached-out with a hand for another. May God bless and comfort all who mourn this day, which will forever be remembered, etched indelibly upon our collective heart and soul. www.msnbc.msn.com/id/14699593/

An incredible posting by Doule:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ May we also remember those who might have been there, but weren't.
The head of a company survived 9/11 because his son started kindergarten, and he had to stay with him a short while.
Another fellow was alive because it was his turn to bring donuts.
One woman was late because her alarm clock didn't go off in time.
One was late because of being stuck on the NJ Turnpike because of an auto accident.
One man missed his bus.
One woman spilled food on her clothes and had to take time to change.
One man's car wouldn't start.
One went back into the house to answer the telephone, and time just got away from him.
One had a child that dawdled and didn't get ready as soon as he should have.
One couldn't get a taxi.
There was the man who put on a new pair of shoes that morning, took the various means to get to work but before he got there, he developed a blister on his foot. He stopped at a drugstore to buy a Band-Aid. That is why he is alive today.
Why are you where you are right now? Are you there because of God's plan for your life?
Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
All of those people are alive because of some annoying little thing that God placed in his or her path that gave each one an opportunity to live. Those things may not have seemed like a blessing at the time, but they were.
God bless you as you remember those who died...and those who lived.
Philippians 1:21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

A prayer by Ann:
Father Your word tells us "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." Please help really humble ourselves and pray and really seek Your face and turn away from our own wicked ways and welcome You to hear us. Please do heal our land. Please do heal our hearts. Please do help us focus on You and not on us. Please help us care much more about what You want and what You say is right than about our own wants. Please help us make You and keep You as our Lord in every way. Please help us as there is so much rememberence here of the 9/11/01 attacks not to see a repetition of them 9/11 this year. Please be our protection in the name of Jesus. Thank You.
