September 11th Memorial Dedication Speech

I pray every day for those of who renounced their faith in the Lord after that fateful day in September of 2001, for God was not the cause of the tragic events that pummeled our na

I conclude, today, with the image of a couple leaping from the south tower, reaching for each other as they fall. As Brian Doyle described the sight, “their hands came together with such extraordinary, ordinary, naked love.” This image challenges us with the need to make a judgment, a choice.

We know this because there has not been a single report from a single individual who was called from a member aboard the highjacked planes who claims that there were screaming passengers in the background. God was also with each individual whom was employ
