September 11th

9 years ago. Theres a lot I can say about that day. I didn’t fully understand at first. I guess I didn’t comprehend it all at once. But I knew it was terribly sad and it frightened me. My grandma was on a plan at the time, and I was scared for her, I was scared for all the people in the twin towers, I was scared of the terrorists that did it. I looked at the tears coming from my moms eyes, and they fell from mine to. Later my fright turned to anger. Anger towards the bad men that would do that to MY country. That caused SOOO many mommy’s and daddy’s to be killed. I thought of my mom and dad and how I would feel if I had gone to school that day. And then found out that my parents were dead. Killed by terrorists who crashed their airplanes into the building where they worked. Theres so many aspects that you could dwell on that would evoke so many different emotions. But I’ll never forget one day sometime after I was working in the kitchen with my mom. The boys were fighting and making tons of noise, and we had the radio on, and this song came on, our household stopped in dead stillness as we listened to the song and cried our eyes out. The song is “where were you” By Alen Jackson. I know it’s a country song. But I still wanted to post it in memory of that day

Where Were You by Alan Jackson

Where were you when the world stopped turning that September day
Out in the yard with your wife and children
Working on some stage in LA
Did you stand there in shock at the site of
That black smoke rising against that blue sky
Did you shout out in anger
In fear for your neighbor
Or did you just sit down and cry

Did you weep for the children
Who lost their dear loved ones
And pray for the ones who don't know
Did you rejoice for the people who walked from the rubble
And sob for the ones left below

Did you burst out in pride
For the red white and blue
The heroes who died just doing what they do
Did you look up to heaven for some kind of answer
And look at yourself to what really matters

I'm just a singer of simple songs
I'm not a real political man
I watch CNN but I'm not sure I can tell you
The difference in Iraq and Iran
But I know Jesus and I talk to God
And I remember this from when I was young
Faith hope and love are some good things he gave us
And the greatest is love

Where were you when the world stopped turning that September day
Teaching a class full of innocent children
Driving down some cold interstate
Did you feel guilty cause you're a survivor
In a crowded room did you feel alone
Did you call up your mother and tell her you love her
Did you dust off that bible at home
Did you open your eyes and hope it never happened
Close your eyes and not go to sleep
Did you notice the sunset the first time in ages
Speak with some stranger on the street
Did you lay down at night and think of tomorrow
Go out and buy you a gun
Did you turn off that violent old movie you're watching
And turn on "I Love Lucy" reruns
Did you go to a church and hold hands with some stranger
Stand in line and give your own blood
Did you just stay home and cling tight to your family
Thank God you had somebody to love

I'm just a singer of simple songs
I'm not a real political man
I watch CNN but I'm not sure I can tell you
The difference in Iraq and Iran
But I know Jesus and I talk to God
And I remember this from when I was young
Faith hope and love are some good things he gave us
And the greatest is love

I'm just a singer of simple songs
I'm not a real political man
I watch CNN but I'm not sure I can tell you
The difference in Iraq and Iran
But I know Jesus and I talk to God
And I remember this from when I was young
Faith hope and love are some good things he gave us
And the greatest is love

The greatest is love
The greatest is love

Where were you when the world stopped turning that September day

This song still makes me cry. Lol. Now I want to thank our country. The firefighters, the policeman, the volunteers, the soldiers that responded to the tragedy. And the very people that fight for my freedom today. “freedom isn’t Free” people are paying the price this very minute. On September 11 so many people put their life on the line to help in any way they possibly could. So many people that day sacrificed their own life to save the life of another. John 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. and many did.

THANK YOU

...Sweet Land of Liberty...

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. we didnt pass it on to our children in the bloodstream. it must be faught for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children, and our childrens children what it was once like in the United States where men were free" ~-~ Ronald Regan

i know. iv already posted something of this sort already. but my heart is so burdened for our dear beloved country. for our precious freedoms, that are almost completly gone. it just breaks my heart. our "sweet land of liberty" what is happening to it? what libertys do we really have anymore? or what (if any) libertys will we have 3-5 years from now? what about only 1 year from now? more people than we would EVER imagine. are working to Disarm us. with the hate crime bill, its already "illegal" to speak out. especially for us Christians. what happened to that right? the freedom of speech? we hardly have any. when a Godly person speaks out against abortion, or homeosexuality they are thrown in the slammer. (but a queer murderer or rapest or something slips off the hook scotch free) and now. with this Health Care bill? what with Obama threatining, and bribing all the democrats to vote for it? whats is up with treatining Ben Nelson that if he didnt vote for the HC bill obamas gonna close our military base at offutt? and if the HC passes. we would have NO freedom to chose! it would pretty much be either go with the flow, or were in the slammer. guys this is PATHETIC!!! Lord God. what is happening? im sorry yall. i just have to rant and rave here. but i guess more than that, let us encourage one another to Pray for our Country. God is STILL on the throne! its hard for me to realize this. I often seem to "forget" but God is in controll.

Dear Precious America. i Love you. i thank all the men and women who origionally established our freedoms, that paid the price, gave the sacrifice to be able to say, "with liberty and justice for all" I thank those that are serving today, trying to protect our freedoms. it is an honor to have friends and Family stepping up to the call of duty, to serve our Country. I Pray for Revival across our Land, i weep for Price that was paid for our freedom, which is now so often taken for granted. i Cry to the Lord to heal our land. will you join with me? our country needs the Prayers of her people more than EVER today. we can NOT be led like sheep to the slaughter. we can not let the trynanry of the our currupt government steal our precious biblical, and constitutional rights

Dear America

wake up! Americans WAKE UP!!! my heart is so burdened for our dear beloved country! and i want to share it with yall. today as i was writing a speech for our NCFCA homeschool speech/debate i was looking up quotes from, and the Godly wonderful men that Founded our country. what is happening!!?? I am grieved to say, as most yall know America is asleep, our rights, our freedoms are being quietly stolen away from us. and when we wake up, they will be gone. we will be bound and gagged. so many people dont even REALIZE how quickely the freedoms that took SOOO long to establish and gain, are being slurped away. common! lets get motavitate, passionate, let us stand up and speak out for our Biblical, and constitutional rights!!! heres some of the quotes that i read. i hope it burdens yalls heart like it did mine.

“The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government - lest it come to dominate our lives and interests.” Patric Henry

"The liberties of our country, the freedoms of our civil Constitution are worth defending at all hazards; it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. We have received them as a fair inheritance from our worthy ancestors. They purchased them for us with toil and danger and expense of treasure and blood. It will bring a mark of everlasting infamy on the present generation – enlightened as it is – if we should suffer them to be wrested from us by violence without a struggle, or to be cheated out of them by the artifices of designing men." Samuel Adams

“The Constitution preserves the advantage of being armed which Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation where the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms.” James Madison

"The strongest reason for people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government." --Thomas Jefferson

"Three millions of people, armed in the holy cause of liberty, and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us. Beside, sir, we shall not fight our battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of Nations, and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us." Patric Henry

if the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter. George Washington

dont these quotes give you the goose bumps?? we need to be praying for out country, for our Leaders, for our soldiers! Lord heal our land!!! 2Chonicals 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
