Remembering September 11, 2001
We all know that God was very busy on Sept.11, 2001
He was with everyone that lost their lives
and He was also with YOU and I
So I dedicate this page to all the innocent
victims who lost their lives as a result
of this act act of terrorism against the USA
September 11, 2001. My thoughts and prayers
will continue to be with all those who have been
affected by the attack on the USA.
America cries
For Every person lost and
for each hero that dies
After the smoke clears and
all the dust has settled
America still stands,
despite all the debris and the metal
As we rally together,
United we stand
Reaching out to a stranger
and holding their hand
With courage and faith
we shall not bend
To the terrorist that have taken
a family member or friend
I have found that heroes aren't born
heroes are made
Risking their lives
in spite of being afraid
We thank all the Rescue Workers
for being so brave
Running into a burning building,
hoping to find a life to save
To all those people who have
lost someone they love
May God be with you and
send you blessings from above.

The World Tradecenter before September 11, 2001
The World Tradecenter on September 11, 2001
He drove a big red truck.
And when he'd go to work each night,
He'd say "Mother wish me luck"
Then dad would not come home again,
till: sometime the next day.
But the thing that bothered me the most,
Was the things some folks would say.
"A fireman's life is easy,
He eats and sleeps and plays.
And sometimes he doesn't fight a fire
For days and days and days"
When I first heard these comments,
I was too young to understand.
Cause I knew, when people had troubles
Dad was there to lend a hand.
Then my father went to work one day,
And he kissed us all good-bye.
But little did we realize that night,
we all would cry.
My father gave his life that night,
When the floor gave way below.
And I wondered why He'd risk his life,
For someone that he didn't even know.
But now I realize, The greatest gift a man can give,
Is to lay his life upon the line,
So that someone else might live.
Say a prayer for your local fireman,
He may save the ones you love.

We can't forget Todd Beamer
Flight 93 September 11th 2001
The Faith of Todd Beamer
"I don't think we're going to get out of this thing.
I'm going to have to go out on faith."
It was the voice of Todd Beamer,
the passenger... and Wheaton College graduate ...
who said, "Let's roll" as he led the charge
against the terrorists who had hijacked United Flight 93,
the one, that crashed in the Pennsylvania countryside.
The whole world knows how brave Beamer
and his fellow passengers were on September 11th.
But we learned more fully what buttressed that bravery:
Faith in Jesus Christ.
Todd died as he lived. . . a faithful evangelical believer.
In an article titled "The Real Story of Flight 93,"
Newsweek reveals gripping new details from the actual
transcripts of the now-recovered cockpit voice recorder.
"Todd had been afraid," Newsweek relates.
"More than once, he cried out for his Saviour."
After passengers were herded to the back of the jet,
Beamer called the GTE Customer Center in Oakbrook, Illinois.
He told supervisor Lisa Jefferson about the hijacking.
The passengers were planning to jump the terrorists, he said.
And then he asked her to pray with him.
As Newsweek relates . . ."Beamer kept a Lord's Prayer bookmark
in his Tom Clancy novel, but he didn't need any prompting.
He began to recite the ancient litany,and Jefferson joined him:
Our Father which art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy name.
Thy kindom come.
Thy will be done,
On earth as it is in heaven.
'Give us this day our daily bread.
'And forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And do not lead us into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
and the power, and the glory, forever,
Amen."
As they finished, Beamer added, "Jesus, help me."
And then, Beamer and his fellow passengers prayed a prayer
that has comforted millions down through the centuries . . .
the prayer found in Psalms 23rd chapter that David
wrote in a time of great anguish:
The Lord is my shepherd,
I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
he leadeth me besides the still waters.
He restoreth my soul:
he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley
of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil:
for thou art with me;
thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me
in the presence of mine enemies:
thou annointest my head with oil;
my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall
follow me all the days of my life.
I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
And then the famous last words:
"Are you guys ready? Let's roll."
We now know from the cockpit voice recorder
that Beamer and other passengers wrestled with
the hijackers and forced the plane to crash into the ground,
killing themselves but foiling what was believed
to have been the hijackers' plan to fly Flight 93
into the Capitol or the White House.
As Christians, we know that God can bring good out of evil.
In Todd Beamer, the world witnesses a faith
that held up in the extremity of fear.
A faith that is even now comforting
his widow and two young sons.
Lisa Beamer told NBC's Dateline,
"You know, in the Lord's Prayer,
it asks us to forgive our trespasses
as we forgive those who trespass against us."
"As Todd prayed this prayer in the last moments of his life,
in a way," Lisa said, "He was forgiving those people
for what they were doing, the most horrible thing
you could ever do to someone."
It wasn't Todd Beamer's job to fight terrorists.
He was just a passenger, who along with several others,
did what he didn't have to do but foiled a terrible evil
that might have been done to his country.
As Flight 93 hurtled towards destruction,
Todd Beamer could not have known that
his quiet prayers would ultimately be heard by millions..
that the story of his last acts on earth
would be a witness to the Lord he loved and served
and a lasting example of true heroism.
Remembering what one Christian can do!!!
heard the news on September 11, 2001. Neither will I.
I was on the 110th floor in a smoke filled room with a man
who called his wife to say, "Good-Bye."
I held his fingers steady as he dialed.
I gave him the peace to say,
"Honey, I am not going to make it, but it is OK...
I am ready to go."
I was with his wife when he called
as she fed breakfast to their children.
I held her up as she tried to understand his words
and as she realized he wasn't coming home that night.
I was in the stairwell of the 23rd floor when
a woman cried out to Me for help.
"I have been knocking on the door
of your heart for 50 years!" I said.
"Of course I will show you the way home -
only believe in Me now."
I was at the base of the building with the Priest
ministering to the injured and devastated souls.
I took him home to tend to his Flock in Heaven.
He heard my voice and answered.
I was on all four of those planes,
in every seat, with every prayer.
I was with the crew as they were overtaken.
I was in the very hearts of the believers there,
comforting and assuring them that their faith has saved them.
I was in Texas, Kansas, London. I was standing next to you
when you heard the terrible news. Did you sense Me?
I want you to know that I saw every face.
I knew every name - though not all know Me.
Some met Me for the first time on the 86th floor.
Some sought Me with their last breath.
Some couldn't hear Me calling to them
through the smoke and flames;
"Come to Me... this way... take my hand."
Some chose, for the final time, to ignore Me.
But, I was there.
I did not place you in the Tower that day.
You may not know why, but I do.
However, if you were there in that explosive moment in time,
would you have reached for Me?
September 11, 2001 was not the end of the journey for you.
But someday your journey will end
And I will be there for you as well.
Seek Me now while I may be found.
Then, at any moment, you know you are "Ready To Go"
I will be in the stairwell of your final moments.
Remember "I LOVE YOU"
GOD
Please take a moment right now to say a prayer
Pray for all those that lost their lives on September 11, 2001
Pray for all those that help to rescue the ones that were save
from this terrible act of terroism. Pray for our nation,
our soldiers, pray from everyone and then pray for you.
If you aren't saved by the blood of Jesus take this time
All you have to do to accept God
as your Personal Savior is the following:
1. Admit that you are a sinner:
Romans 3:23 For all have sinned,
and come short of the glory of God;
2. Believe Jesus died on the cross for you.
Acts 16:31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ,
and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
3. Confess your sin to God and turn away from it.
Romans 10:9-10 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth
the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God
hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness;
and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
We should all know that we are saved, Are you saved?
I'm not asking of how good you are,
or if you are a church member, but are you saved?
Do you know for sure you will go to Heaven when you die?
John 3:7 says Marvel not thet I said unto them,
Ye must be born again. So God is saying to you
that you must be born again to go to Heaven.
Being born again means being saved and to be saved
all of have to do is follow the 3 steps above for
Romans 3:23 tells us, For all have sinned,
and come short of the glory of God.
Romans 6:23 For the wages (payment) of sin is death
But God loved you so much he gave his only begotten Son,
Jesus, to bear your sin and die in your place.
"For he hath made him (Jesus, who knew no sin)to be sin for us
that we might be made the righteousness of God in him"
(2 Corinthians 5:21).
If you are ready to be saved then all you have to do
is say the Sinner's Prayer, Just pray:
"Oh, God, I know I am a sinner.
I believe Jesus was died on the cross for me.
I believe His shed blood, and that He rose from the dead.
I now receive Him as my Savior.
I thank you for the forgiveness of my sins,
the gift of salvation and everlasting life,
because of your merciful grace.
In Jesus' Name, Amen."
Please email me if you would like for me to pray with you
God Bless You
