Today as we remember September 11, 2001 …
There were some folks who witnessed a horrific sight a couple thousand years ago and never forgot what they saw either. It was a crime politically motivated, maniacally carried out, and it too caused the earth to tremble and the sky to darken. It was not in a city, but on a hillside; not in a tower, but on a cross; not 3000, but one. It was a day that changed the world forever – the worst fear and despair ever known, followed by hope for all eternity. Those who were there that day faithfully told the story through the generations reliving each sight and sound and felling. It was their own 9/11.
Some days are worth remembering.
