The Lord is good to all: and His tender
mercies are over all His works.
Psalm 145:9
It's September 11th and another anniversary of the tragic terrorist attacks which took place on United States soil, and claimed many lives...
mercies are over all His works.
Psalm 145:9
It's September 11th and another anniversary of the tragic terrorist attacks which took place on United States soil, and claimed many lives...
As has been the custom since the first anniversary of the attacks, many will gather in Lower Manhattan at a spot that had been known as "Ground Zero" but is now the newly constructed Freedom Tower, to remember and honor those who died.
Each year, the 9/11 memorial service would be covered live by at least several major media outlets and can be watched on television, or heard on some radio stations. A sad and somber event, while the names of all who died would be slowly read aloud, one name at a time.
Every year since, I've listened to some or all of the memorial service. When I was at my former facility, I would listen to it over the radio. Now that I'm at Shawangunk, where I have a small TV set, I can watch it. It's a humbling experience seeing survivors and family members of those who lost a loved one shedding tears and speaking the names of their loved ones with choked voices.
Listening and watching, I could see the deep anguish these people had; I could feel their pain, even if I could not comprehend their loss. This year I could only take about an hour's worth of viewing before I decided to turn off the television, and quietly pray.
