Five Years Later...

I said it last year in this blog and I'll say it again this year (updating the time passed, of course)...

"On this day, I offer prayers to the families of all of those impacted by the tragic events of September 11, 2001. In five short years, this terrible day has reshapen our countries path down a difficult, but necessary road.

The one thing we should never forget is that there are still a lot of people who would kill you, your family and all of your friends, without a second thought, simply because you are an American.

Until that threat is defeated, we will continue to be at War. It is a Holy War for our enemies. Unless it becomes a Holy War for us, they will have the advantage. In an increasingly secular society, I don't know if we have to moral clarity to all understand the sacrifice required to win a Holy War.

For the time being, we're left just being at War."

Over the past year I have come to realize that only God's grace to change hearts can stop this war. We must be diligent, we must defend ourselves, our way of life, our faith and our country. Unfotunately, no amount of financial aid, appeasement or cooperation is going to change that certain parts of the world teach their children everyday that we are evil and must be destroyed. So, I leave it up to Jesus to change the hearts of our enemies, because nothing else will.
