Coffee Two Years Later . . .

[Durango]

Today marks 2 years since the attacks on the World Trade Center . . .

That horrific day that shattered the lives of so many and burned impressions in our minds that none of us will ever forget.

Each and everyone of us can sit back and remember exactly what we were doing that morning as havoc broke loose in the Big Apple, the Pentagon and out in Pennsylvania.

This past Saturday I took my coffee and went for a walk down along the shore.

I stood there on the shoreline gazing across to where the Twin Towers once stood.

My eyes were fixated on the gaping hole in the skyline . . .

An empty spot where the World Trade Center used to be.

I thought of the lives that were lost on that fateful day and recalled standing on the very same spot watching the smoke billowing from what remained of the buildings that day and for days after that . . .

I thought of the emptiness felt by those who lost friends and loved ones on that day . . .

And I prayed asking the Good Lord to comfort those who have experienced that emptiness.

Then I thought of the emptiness in the lives of the unbelievers . . .

The emptiness they have not knowing the Lord . . .

And I prayed for those lost souls, asking the Lord to reach out and fill the void in their lives so that they may be redeemed as well.

Just a thought and a prayer over coffee!

I had the same thoughts and prayers today, while drinking my coffee. You would hope that for at least one day, people could put aside their differences of opinion, put aside their hate for other people, races, or their choices, and for one day, be quiet. For one day, dont condem people in same sex relationships, dont put someone down because they dont agree with your opinions, for one day people should remember that two years ago someones gay son or daughter brother sister or friend died just as tragically as the other people died. An atheist died right next to a christian, and I find the death of the atheist to be more sad than that of the person who went home. All I am trying to say is for just one day people should try to say less hateful things, try to put one less person down, you never know if thats the last thing that person will hear.
