Some of the images are graphic in nature; however, the importance of this tragedy (September 11th or 9/11) can not be overlooked.
In these difficult and trying times, it is important to pause and reflect on the things that really matter. All of us who enjoy the freedoms of
this country are potential targets... we must pull together, united in our resolve to defend our way of life and values.
We who are American, and who are also called by His name, are the proud citizens of The Kingdom of God, and of the United States of America.
Ours is a nation that was birthed by the very hand of God. He called and someone heard. Many had to die to themselves. By crossing a sea of faith and overcoming their fears. America was born.
Those who already lived here and those who now came now lived together, fought one another, and fed each other in a common struggle to survive. In this new conflict between light and darkness, between the old and the new, victory was celebrated in the light of Thanksgiving.
The past came back to haunt us. To steal our dreams and to destroy God's plan. Our new enemy was an old wineskin and a false king. But the taste of freedom, the presence of God's Spirit, and the strength of becoming one, was more than enough to defeat the British and to leave the past behind.
Our strength became our weakness, as our nation fought itself. In Civil War, brother now killed brother and our enemy became ourselves. While young boys died and mothers wept in shame, the battle in the heavenlies raged with a fierceness that could not be seen with human eyes,
Could a nation be free if all its citizens were not? Could we enslave one another and proclaim that we are one nation under the Love of God? Could we ever really be great if we could not discover the keys to true greatness? A great price was paid, we were restored, and our healing would forever make us a more compassionate people.
The Church and the State worked together, seeing themselves as agents of God. Their partnership was successful. Our nation grew, the world wanted to come, and the rest watched with awe.
We worked with our hands; our ideas came from God, so we stayed on our knees realizing that In God we must trust. We built a land of prosperity, and opportunity, we sharpened our swords, and when the call came, we were ready to fight.
We crossed that great ocean to stand with our friends. We never could have imagined the price that would be paid. Satan seemed unbeatable. Yet once again he had underestimated the power vested in anyone or anything God touches.
In death, we resurrected, in sacrifice we were pruned. Once again, we grew and we prospered and we said "God Bless America".
We came back from war and sent back God's word. Through an army of missionaries, we cut off the giant's head. We told the world "God loves you". Our purpose was now clear. We fed the hungry, fought the unpopular wars for the weak, and tore down the walls that divided us.
Though our mistakes have been many and sin seems so near, America will always be great, because America will always be good. And America will always be good as long as America will always fight for God.
We are the most prosperous nation on the earth. The most generous people in the world. Our laws and government are without equal. Our technology is astounding, our agriculture abundant, and our military forces are invincible.
We feed a world who often hates us. We rebuild nations whose evil leaders we have had to destroy, and we forgive debts from those who cannot pay us back. We are America.
We are a light on a hill, the keepers of the flame. A nation that has known mountain moving faith. A sleeping giant that no enemy should dare to awaken.
We bleed, but we will never die. We wipe our tears, but we will never give up. The courage of the few now inspires the many, and the faith of the many has been ignited once again.
More than ever, I am proud to be an American. May "God Bless the U.S.A.".

"At what point shall we expect the approach of danger?... All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the Earth...
could not by force take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in a trial of a thousand years... If destruction be our lot, we
must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide."
Abraham Lincoln

Osama Bin Laden, your time is short;
We'd rather you die, than come to court.
Why are you hiding if it was in God's name?
You're just a punk with a turban; a pathetic shame.
I have a question, about your theory and laws;
"How come you never die for the cause?"
Is it because you're a coward who counts on others?
Well here in America, we stand by our brothers.
As is usual, you failed in your mission;
If you expected pure chaos, you can keep on wishin'
Americans are now focused and stronger than ever;
Your death has become our next endeavor.
What you tried to kill, doesn't live in our walls;
It's not in buildings or shopping malls.
If all of our structures came crashing down;
It would still be there, safe and sound.
Because pride and courage can't be destroyed;
Even if the towers leave a deep void.
We'll band together and fill the holes
We'll bury our dead and bless their souls.
But then our energy will focus on you;
And you'll feel the wrath of the Red, White and Blue.
So slither and hide like a snake in the grass;
Because America's coming to kick your ass!!!
