"...He told me they were talking about jumping the guy with the bomb"

What the..?? So they DID have a bomb on board, or was it some plastic thingie the Muslims strung up? God how I hope they have a place in Hell RIGHT next to Satan..

My tears have long since turned to hate for those responsible. I can no longer watch the ceremonies, rituals and services for the victims, as those images only expedite my anger and hate. I want total complete vengeance upon those that did this. This includes those that control Saudi Arabia. My appetite for revenge has yet to be satisfied, for now I can only imagine their brutal annihilation with extreme pleasure.

[GretchenEE]

Gave me goosebumps to read the way God gave Scripture to fortify the Beamers for the trial they were about to face.

What a dear lady Lisa Beamer is.

Bumping to read now and later and again, and again.
The Lord is good!

I'd like to throw something out here about which I've been thinking since 9/11:

Is it accurate to say that the terrorists who destroyed so many lives on 9/11 are evil? or even bad?
Was Judas evil or bad?
If we believe that we live in a theocracy which is controlled in every aspect by a loving God, then we have to believe that the acts of Judas and these terrorists went through God's hands first, and that they had His approval before these acts were committed.
These acts were perpetrated by men who were tools of our loving God no less than the acts of the Romans when Jesus was crucified.

What else would have turned this country around from that slide into degeneracy which we all witnessed during Clinton's administration?
If this had been a car bombing in Central Park, it would have hit the news one day and been gone the next, but this event is burned into our collective conscience like a brand.
We are witnessing a revival of our national spirit which hasn't been seen since at least World War II.
I propose to you that what our very limited intellect perceives as evil, God sees as necessary for the propagation of His plan for mankind.
We, as mere mortals, have no choice but to see these acts as evil, and we are instructed in God's Word to fight evil in all it's forms.
But I think it's well to remember that God is involved in this struggle; He allowed it to begin for His purpose.
The outcome is guaranteed by His Word.

We are His tools now, just as the terrorists were on 9/11 and continue to be today.
The 9/11 event, the subsequent events since that time and the events which are sure to come about in the next months and years will determine the course of human existence.
This is much bigger than the WTC, the Pentagon or the United States of America.
This is the prelude to Armageddon, and we, as Christians, know the outcome.

We are seeing a polarization of this country and of this world.
A division is taking place daily.
The pressure to take the easy road to appeasement will mount as world opinion begins to shape political decisions, both here and among our allies.
We as Conservative Christians must fight the good fight and remember that God IS on our side.
"If He is for us, who can be against us?"

I picked that song for my Mother's Funeral entrance.

Lisa Beamer is AMAZING!! Truly an inspirational person.....smeone indeed to look up to.

[LadyX]

An excellent analysis, clearly laid out.
He does indeed have plans for the lives of His creations, allowing us, however, to exercise our will in how we conduct them.

Most thought-provoking ~ ~ ~

I'm so glad you like it, too. It is a beautiful piece of music and I find the lyrics to be not only comforting but inspirational and uplifting. Yes, Lisa Beamer has been a tower of strength and courage in the midst of her unimaginable sadness and loss.
