Time to say good night. Hope everyone has a good start to the work week, whether you're working or not Tomorrow I will be picking up my Grandmother to bring her to my new place so that she can see it for the first time.
Morning all. Feeling somewhat somber this morning, for obvious reasons, so I shall just say "Paix, mes amis". Right now, the world needs all the peace we can get in a non-violent manner.

"The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who can't read these books." Mark Twain
Today should be a day of remembrance to those who perished needlessly, those who selflessly gave their lives and to those who lost loved ones.

________ MaxPower, he has the name that you want to touch, but you musn't touch!
His name sounds good in your ear, but when you hear it, you musn't fear.
Cause his name can be said, in many different ways...

Here in body. It was a long, sleepless night around here. And yesterday was very tiring. I am looking ahead to a long week as well.
While I share the sentiments shared here about the marking of today, I struggle with knowing how to mark the occasion, and with how to find the time for the discussions of larger issues. Obviously today per se is innappropriate, but there has been an awful lot done in this world in the name of 9/11 that I find objectionable. I did not, however, preach anything about the subject yesterday, in part so that I could be certain my comments wouldn't interfere in any way with anyone's observance of the day.
I will go to work today, and be absorbed by the endless pile of things that await me. But I remember where I was that day, and how I felt watching the events of the day unfold. I also remember that entire week, knowing that it was my job, somehow, to help people to understand, and to help them try and find comfort in that time.
I am thinking of preaching this coming Sunday the sermon that I preached way back then on the 16th, the first Sunday following the attack. If anyone is interested in reading it, it is here. I still say, with all the conviction of my heart, that there must be another way. But I despair now more than ever of us ever finding that way.
