The cry of America was heard around the world on 9/11, only for some to mock in distain and others to cry with America. Over five thousand were killed when the towers fell, the pentagon was attacked and an another plane went down in the north due to terrorist attack. People mourned for lives lost and not for buildings. Buildings of nobility of business and money. A towers effected not just Americans but the world. All nationalities represented and the world was attacked. The world went to war against middle east. Some did not join the fight because they were afraid we would loose. Afraid to ruin their allies with the middle east. A country divided by what to do and a country divided by heartbreak of terror is not one to lay down and do nothing. The worse thing is silence and to ignore, for it only gets worse.

The despair of man over hurt, loss, war, and so forth is probably the hardest pain to endure because of the amount of loss of life. We all hurt when we loose family. We all hurt when masses die. Yet it matters not whose side one is on, pain of killing the pain of death knowing it would have been us if it had not been them. The nightmarish feeling of knowing one did what was right despite the outcome of war, is only half the grief. Victory should be sweet but it only like withering grass.

The truth of the matter is God never changes and is consistent through out all generations. Despite the wars of man, the horrors that afflict man and the terror man goes through, God does not change. Despite the weakness of the human flesh as it ages God does not change. His ways are consistent beyond our human understanding. His mercy is great to all generation that believe and carry on His word. His word lasting from each generation that carries it on. Most people think in finite terms and not infinity. Man can only see their generation and not think about eternity which is to come in a infinity way. From life to death to life, or life to death and nothing more to gain. Our idea of life and death not fully realized until our death bed, the our death is only a moment to resurrection to be with Christ. The affliction of the body, mind and spirit, is only a moment of time, and not infinity as a believer. Affliction of this world is only a moment of hope of eternal salvation through Christ Jesus. God never changing his rules or his plan for mankind, but giving hope that after we face death we live through eternity with God. We know the destruction of our flesh and yet we live for eternity if we believe.

May the horrors of post 911 not remain but the victory of being overcomer of war in our land remain in our hearts that we know we must stand always together and take the war to where it comes from and not to where it is.

Dear Heavenly Father may our afflictions in life be realized as being momentarily that heaven is onward over the horizon of life. In Jesus precious name, Amen.
