Remembering 9/11
In just a few minutes here in France, CNN International will begin rerunning its original September 11, 2001 footage as part of its anniversary memorial. When I heard that CNN was going to rebroadcast the footage, I made a mental note to watch, but now as the time draws near, I’m not sure I can do it. I think its right and appropriate to remember such an egregious attack against our country, but I’m not sure I can handle the emotional content of the images combined with my own memories.
I’ve spent almost an hour writing and rewriting this post, and it comes down to this: I can’t write about it. I can’t say what I want to say to commemorate the heroes and the fallen. The only thing I can do is pray for the families whose loved ones never came home that day.
Looking back over the past five years, I think our nation has become stronger, but when circumstances like 9/11 force us to realize how weak and fragile we are, I hope that we remember that the Lord is our salvation. May God bless America
