SEPTEMBER 11, 2016
That We Might Learn If you are like me, whenever September 11 rolls around, your mind is taken back to 2001 and the events of 9/11. If you were old enough at the me, there’s a good chance you remember where you were and what you were doing when the news broke and you learned of the a acks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. It is hard to believe, but that was fi een years ago today. Since that me, much has changed. On the one hand, healing has occurred, many have been brought to jus ce, rela onships have been restored and the world has moved forward. On the other hand, you have only to look around our na on and world to see that all is not yet right. There is s ll violence, deep resentment, racial tension, conflict among religious fac ons, and fear imbedded in the hearts and minds of a great many people. We are s ll in need of God’s healing touch.

and their spears into pruning tools. (where) NaƟon will not take up sword against naƟon; and they will no longer learn how to make war.” (Micah 4:3; parenthesis added) That is a vision worthy of our best efforts. So, on this day, I want to invite all of us to take a moment to reflect back on that morning and those who served and sacrificed, and ask God to help us con nue to learn from it. May something that was so wrong become a source of great good un l we eventually come to that day where the reign of God rules in every heart. Blessings,
