Tickles 'n Truth, normally a weekday compilation of humor and inspiration, departs from its usual format for the week of September 8, in remembrance of 9-11. Please join in a time of reflection and renewal for a week that recalls one of the most devastating days in USA history. We will return to our regular format next week.
A Bonus article: "Meet Me in the Stairwell!"
"Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord . . . No king is saved by the size of his army; no warrior escapes by his great strength. A horse is a vain hope for deliverance; despite all its great strength it cannot save. But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear [reverence] him, on those whose hope is in his unfailing love, to deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine" (Psalm 33:12,16- 19, NIV).It is my understanding that a retired U.S. Marine sergeant wrote the following message in remembrance of September 11-the day that evil struck at the heart of American freedom and Western liberty:
"I sat in a movie theater watching 'Schindler's List,' and asked myself, 'Why didn't the Jews fight back?' Now I know why.
"I sat in a movie theater, watching 'Pearl Harbor' and asked myself, 'Why weren't we prepared?' Now I know why.
"Civilized people cannot fathom, much less predict, the actions of evil people.
"I will embrace the wise words of Prime Minister Tony Blair who told Labor Party conference, 'They [the terrorists] have no moral inhibition on the slaughter of the innocent. If they could have murdered not 7,000 but 70,000, does anyone doubt they would have done so and rejoiced in it?'
"There is no compromise possible with such people, no meeting of minds, and no point of understanding with such terror. Just a choice: 'Defeat it or be defeated by it. And defeat it we must!'
"[So that I will not forget, today] I will force myself to:
* Hear the weeping"We have no choice. Living without liberty is not living."1
* Feel the helplessness
* Imagine the terror
* Sense the panic
* Smell the burning flesh
* Experience the loss
* Remember the hatred.
In the United States of America it is written on every coin, "In God we trust." In light of the tragic events that we commemorate this day, may this message be forever indelibly written and engraved on our hearts.
Suggested prayer. "Dear God, immediately following the events of September 11, 2001 millions of us momentarily turned our attention towards you, but all too soon we went back to our old ways and forgot about you. May all that has happened, and all that we have learned since that day awaken us to the fact that the world is filled with evil and that unless we, as a nation, make you our Lord and our God, we have no guarantee of the safety of the world we will be leaving to our children and our children's children. May this day be the beginning of world-wide spiritual awareness and awakening. Thank you for hearing and answering my prayer. Gratefully, in Jesus' name, Amen."
