Remembering 9/11

Posted in Misc.

Today is 9/11. Today many people will remember that fateful day so many years ago. Today lives are different because of what happened. And yet today many people will go on as normal, not even giving a second thought to that day.  I don't want to be one of those people.

I think there are those out there who won't forget either...

This is George Johnson of Rockaway Beach, Dan McWilliams of Long Island (both from Ladder 157), and Billy Eisengrein of Staten Island (Rescue 2) .

And someone else who won't forget is my Uncle ~ Gene Adkins of Battle Creek Michigan. He's a policeman. At the time he was searching. Searching for what, you ask? The Lord. I received a call @ around midnight that night. He called me with all kinds of questions. Questions about why would God let this happen... Aren't you afraid... and my favorite... How can you have such peace. I answered him, through the Holy Spirit guiding me, with the answers I always gave him every time he started asking me questions.  "I have the peace of knowing where I'm going, Uncle Gene. Do you?"  He felt he needed to go and DO something so he took the vacation he 'coincendentally' had planned starting @ midnight that night, and went to New York for the week. He came back a different man.

I would love to say he finally surrendered, but I cannot. I know the Lord is working on his heart. I continue to pray as does my mom.

The picture of the firemen is reminescent of another history making shot. Remember this one...

This is @ Iwo Jima during WWII.

To me these pictures speak of the undeniable spirit of hope behind why these men do what they do!!! It doesn't matter what nation your from. Hope is Hope!!

Let's not forget that or the men who continue to give us that hope!

I learned quite a bit on my trek to honor those who fell on this date so many years ago. You might be surprised what YOU'LL learn.

These are just a few of the place I went...

Snopes.com, Iwo Jima Picture, and Ground Zero Spirit. Maybe it'll turn into a history lesson. Mine did!

We have a duty to remember and honor those who came before us, especially if their sacrafice was the ultimate one. Too many of us are sleep-walking through their lives and days, and it's up to those of us who are awake to remind, and be vigilant.

Keep Remembering, and never stop searching for the truth in all things.

love,
Shani

The snopes story tore at my heart.
I pray your Uncle will be saved.
I know seeds have been planted.

I agree that we should always remember 9/11. It was a tragic day, but I do think it brought many people to the Lord.
