"Listen to my prayer, O God, do not ignore my plea; hear me and answer me. My thoughts trouble me and I am distraught at the voice of the enemy, at the stares of the wicked; for they bring down suffering upon me and revile me in their anger." -- Psalm 55:1-3

We remember the horrors of 9/11.  We were stricken with fear, grief, anger, and confusion. We realized we we had enemies and oceans could not protect us from them.  Our world changed in a morning and we felt helpless in it.  But there was good that came that day too.  As you remember the pain, remember the power that was shown as people reached out to one another.  People are remembering and honoring the fallen of that tragedy today.  Many are pledging to do something to honor their memory.  What will you do?
