11 Sept 2023 Remembrance

Today marks a solemn day in world history – a day that showed the world that this country was not invulnerable to terror. In the past such things only happened in other countries not in ours! What’s sad is there are still people that were directly exposed fighting for benefits. There has been an increase of cancer related to the tragedy.

When I think of the Twin Towers I think of this from the Bible:

Genesis 11:1-9New International Version

The Tower of Babel

11 Now the whole world had one language and a common speech. As people moved eastward,[a] they found a plain in Shinar[b] and settled there.

They said to each other, “Come, let’s make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar. Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves; otherwise we will be scattered over the face of the whole earth.”

5 But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower the people were building. 6 The Lord said , “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. 7 Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.”

8 So the Lord scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city.9 That is why it was called Babel[c]—because there the Lord confused the language of the whole world. From there the Lord scattered them over the face of the whole earth.

My prayers go out to the people of Morocco today.
