In Memoriam

I felt like I should post something acknowledging today. I didn't have a chance to write a lengthy post, but perhaps that's not needed. Two years after 9/11, I still find it a sobering, saddening event. I mourn for the families of those who were lost. For those who were lost without having a personal relationship with Jesus. For the naïve innocence of our nation that has been lost. For the lives that have been lost in wars sprouting from 9/11.

Everything has, as it is often said, changed. Just today I heard a jet overhead that was especially loud and had a small, but persistant nagging that it could be another hijacked plane. On a less terrorist related level, the aftereffects of 9/11 threaten the very fiber of our nation politically as its terror is misused to push through legislation such as the PATRIOT Act in the gloomy days after the attack.

And most of all, all of those people who perished in such a horrid way. Oh, if only we could again live in the world of 9/10/01 and not 9/11.
