"Mark Bingham Alice Hoagland’s son, Mark Bingham, also died on United Flight 93. He used his rugby skills to help overtake two of the four hijackers. He had decided to fly home early to get ready to attend his good friend’s wedding. After determining that the plane was going to be used as a weapon, Mark joined the group that stormed the cockpit. It crashed into in a field in Stonycreek Township, near Shanksville, in Somerset County, Pennsylvania. Says Alice: [I think about my son] each and every day of my life, and I will never really be the same. I am sorry for the years that have been ripped from me. I am sorry for the grief still felt by all the family members who lost loved ones. Mark died fighting. He died on his feet. 9/11 is a remembrance of a deep loss for me. I also want people to know that my son was a gay man. I want other gay people to be proud of who they are, despite their sexual orientation that might not be well-received. He was one of a small group of men that tried to stop the terrorists. Because he had such fond memories about his days at the University of California, Berkeley, a scholarship fund was established to help one student pay for tuition."
Apparently only 1/3 of Colonists wanted to be free of England. We are in roughly the same boat.
Patriots can come in many cloths.
I pray that he asked God to forgive him if his sins before he stormed that cockpit, because as Paul says, no homosexuals will be in heaven.
By that I mean practicing homosexuals. I have many urges, but it is when we act on the urges that are wrong that I am sinning.
Or do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and in the Spirit of our God (1 Corinthians 6:9-11).
