A Moment of Silence

Today we pause and remember.

We stop for moments and offer our silence as the loudest prayer and testament to our honor of those lost on 9/11 and our solidarity to the values and freedom that make America great.

Even after seven years, the horror, tragedy, and also the great compassion of the events surrounding 9/11/2001 still burn in my heart as true as they did in those days. Close my eyes, I can see it. I can feel the emotion welling up in me right now. Mourning. Anger. Fear. Eventually the solemn confidence that God is bigger than terror, evil, and fear.

May we never forget...

• the victims and heroes of 9/11

• that there is true evil and evil people in this world
• that there are people who hate America and freedom
  
• that there is good in this world
• that there is hope in God
• that God is big enough.
  

May God bless America!
