God is victorious over evil

 

Sometimes I am shocked when events are put into a time frame that doesn't fit with my experience.

September 11th is one of those events.

I cannot wrap my mind around the fact that there are adults walking around today that are unfamiliar with the attacks of that day. To me, in some ways, it was like yesterday.

I also cannot wrap my mind around the reality that the children of some of those who died serving as firefighters when the twin towers fell, are now adults who are following in the same path as their parents. 

The events of 9/11 were one of those JFK moments. We remember where we were and what we were doing.

The grief that enveloped this country was so tangible, as was the coming together we so desperately needed.

It seems like we are once again being swallowed up by violence in this country, as reports of school shootings and political assassinations such as Charlie Kirk, are becoming so commonplace.

We need to protect our right to free speech and not be silenced when our opinion is contrary to others. The very idea that someone is killed because they are speaking their mind is abhorrent. 

Anyone who contributes to the political rhetoric by stirring up division in this country needs to take a step back.

Thank goodness we have a God who is victorious over evil. If we would only follow his ways of peace, we would find ourselves living in a world that we can only dream about today.
