Met in the stairwell

You say you will never forget where you were when you
heard the news, Sept. 11, 2001. Neither will I.

I was on the 110th floor in a smoke filled room with a
man who called his wife to say "Good-Bye."   I held
his fingers steady as he dialed. I gave him the peace
to say,  "Honey, I am not going to make it, but it is OK..
I am ready to go." I was with his wife when he called
as she fed breakfast to their children.   I held her up as
she tried to understand his words and as she realized
he wasn't coming home that night.

I was in the stairwell of the 23rd floor when a woman
cried out to me for help.   "I have been knocking on the
door of your heart for 50 years!" I said.   "Of course I
will show you the way home-only believe on Me now."

I was at the base of the building with the Priest
ministering to the injured and devastated souls.
I took him home to tend to his Flock in Heaven. He
heard my voice and answered.

I was on all four of those planes, in every seat,
with every prayer.  I was with the crew as they
were overtaken.   I was in the very hearts of the
believers there.  Comforting and assuring them
that their Faith has saved them.

I was in Texas, Kansas, and London.  I was standing
next to you when you heard the terrible news. Did
you sense Me?

I want you to know that I saw every face. I knew
every name-though they did NOT all know Me.
Some met me for the first time on the 100th floor.
Some sought me out in their last breath. Some couldn't
hear me calling to them through the smoke and flames,
"Come to Me...this way...take my hand."

Some chose, for the final time, to ignore Me.
But, I was there.
I did not place you in the Tower that day--you may not
know why, But I DO.   However, if you were there in
that explosive moment in time, would you have reached
for Me?   September 11, 2001 was not the end of the
journey for you.   But someday your journey will end.
And I will be there for you as well.   Seek Me now
while I may be found.   Then, at any moment, you
know you are "ready to go."
I will be in the stairwell of your final moments. ....

GOD, Your Heavenly Father

I have prayed since this terrible tragedy happened that the Lord guide our President as he protects this nation from any people or nation that might be involved, and I hope you all do the same.

"On September 11th as I sat at my work station, I used "Powerpoint" and the memory of our flag to make the above image... It is crude and
a little off, but it is how I felt.
