I can't help but remember that the Congress sang (?God bless America?) together after 9/11....but no one threw a hissy fit about God being mentioned in their song. I don't know if it's just me, but It seems that in the terrible aftermath of 9/11 the separation of church and state didn't seem the all-important constitutional bastion that liberals always make it out to be. I'm only wishing that the unity that characterized the hours/days (unfortunately NOT weeks/years) following September 11th was a constant reality in our government and in all of our world...BUT that would be beyond our wildest dreams. That will never happen, right? No, it WILL happen. Christ, our righteous branch of David, will rule the earth with peace. His delight shall be in the fear of the Lord. He shall not judge by what his eyes see, but with righteousness and faithfulness. The swords will be beaten into plowshares, and the nations will no longer war against each other. O how I long for that day when God's kingdom is completely fulfilled on the earth. The earth will be full of the knowledge of God as the waters cover the sea!! enjoying God's kingdom now but not fully, Jonathan I’m hesitant to comment, but I’ll do it anyway.

First time commenter. I had to say though that none of us <a href="http://thejonahsyndrome.blogspot.com/2007/09/where-were-you-when-world-stopped.html" rel="nofollow"> will ever forget what that day did to us and meant to us. </a> For many, Jesus used it to draw them to Himself truly. For many, it was a reminder that the eternal was important, but only for a little while. For some, it was bad that day and then fine the next. And for some, it embittered them forever. The four soils were never more true or real as they were on that day. 6 years later, I wonder how much we truly remember what we felt that day... I can't forget. I hope I don't ever forget. Denny,
