In Honour of September 11


Six years ago, the face of the world changed;
Six years ago, the world would never be the same.
Six years ago, and it is still firmly lodged in our minds;
Six years ago, and yet it feels like yesterday.



Despite the war on terror that ensued;
Despite the threats of extremism ever looming;
Despite the exchange of words of those in the political realms;
Despite whatever we may make of this horrific tragedy...


Let us never forget
The unity that such a tragedy as this
Brought to humankind.


Even for one day...

Things certainly did change that day didnt they, i still remember where i was and what i was doing.
Its a horrible thing that should never have happened, but it did and changed the world far beyond the borders of the USA.

Also, i was reading your previous post and its inevitable that these thoughts come into your head and it shows that God does want to do something within you and thats encouraging.
And your so responsible, you have to get married and these cost money.

Ryan, i must say that knowing you is both an honour and a pleasure and wherever you end up using your degree, you will be a credit to them. Hell, i'd even come to your church ya heretic. lol, just kidding about the heretic.
