We are dedicating this page to the friends and families of
those killed or injured during the cowardly attack on an innocent American
civilian population on 9/11/01; also to the rescue workers and volunteers who
have given so much of themselves to help during this tragedy - some have given
all.

to all living things, man will not himself find peace."

I wanted to share this with you all. I love you all. God bless you
all!
GOD BLESSED AMERICA
God Bless America,
This is our prayer today and always.
God Bless America,
that's what I've seen on signs and marquees all around me since America was attacked on Tuesday, September 11, 2001.
God DID bless America
for many many years. He was supposedly the reason this country was founded!
Our ancestors were fleeing from tyranny, taxation, and religious persecution.
But what did America do for God? What has America done "to" God?
America, God shed His grace on Thee,
yet, where is His place in American lives today?
We removed Him from our schools.
We removed Him from our homes.
We removed Him from our government.
We removed Him from the center of our lives, as we could not resolve our religious conflicts, which has not one thing to do with God.
God is not Christian, Jew, nor Muslim. He is neither Catholic nor protestant, nor any other denomination.
He is the one who created all things.
We were forgot that and we gave into ignorance and the demands of a child of another evil god.
God was given a reservation for Sunday mornings, if He was given that.
Money and growing hatred became America's god. Even though, we remembered Him on our currency, we forgot the fact that it was only He that blessed us
with abundance of all things and the riches that many have enjoyed, while others were forgotten in the streets.
We separated ourselves from each other out of greed and hatred for our differences, yet it was our differences which made our country great!
America was not meant to be a place of prejudice. It is our diversity that made America a unique and desirable place on this earth.
God did bless America,
but until Tuesday, September 9, 2001, He was all but forgotten by a greedy and ungrateful America.
Tuesday we received a horrifying wake up call and we saw the senseless loss of thousands of lives in only a blink of an eye on American soil.
It was only then that we looked about us and cried out,
"Why is God doing this to us?", "Where is God, why has He forgotten us?".
Then we cried out, "God help us!", and that prayer was in earnest, as so many before this have only been empty and meaningless. This one was
heartfelt and sincere.
God has blessed America and He has not been respected nor honored for His grace upon us and our country.
He blessed us with children who now have turned against us and our society. Remember, it was we who brought these children into Godless homes and sent
them to Godless schools with no prayer said in either.
Is it so surprising that after we have removed God from our daily lives, not allowing for even a brief momentary prayer, that it should appear that
He forgot us?
God will never forget His children.
It is only the child who removes himself from the grace of his parent. It is only we who have removed ourselves from the grace of God.
We are the ones who made room for the enemy to sneak in and strike against us. We did not protect ourselves from evil with the
armor of prayer! We
did not build a wall of prayer, the strongest wall of all.
God still exists and has waited to hear from His children. He's waiting for His children to come to Him.
Now we hear all around us, "God Bless America!", as we draw ourselves together to stand against the
enemy. Let's bring God back to America. Let's bring Him back into each American life. God is not a religion, He is our creator. We owe Him
everything.
If you want God to Bless America, then remember God and give Him a place in your daily lives.
Bring Him back into your homes.
Bring Him back into your schools.
Bring Him back into your government.
Bring Him back into your daily thoughts.
Do nothing without God!
Be thankful to Him for all He has given you and done for all of us.
He will take us back into His grace. Just as a loving parent will take a prodigal child back into the fold, so it is with God!
"God, will Bless America again!"

I saw the sun come up this morning
Oh what a glorious sight
All warm and glowing
Giving the world a new day
Filling it with light
I saw the sun go down this evening
Oh what a glorious sight
All warm and glowing
Ending the worlds day
Filling it with night
I hope I see the sun tomorrow
And marvel at the sight
I only hope I'll see it again tomorrow
And pray to God I might
