September 11-10 Years Later

Wow, I have been watching the news and specials that have been on all week in regards to the anniversary of 9/11. Most of us will never forget that day, I know I won't...but on the other hand it seems like most of us have. Look where we are after that terrible day in history and only 10 short years ago. Who could have ever have imagined that people would be seriously arguing about letting any religious prayer be part of the memorial service? What's a memorial service if you are going to leave God out of it completely? We live in a country where the overwhelming majority of people identify as Christian or have a religion, and clergy were some of the first people to respond on 9/11 to minister to victims. Why aren't they welcome today? It's like I've said before, we are so busy being "politically correct" that we are leaving God out of everything. Are we better off today than yesterday? Are our streets safer, our schools better, our morals at a higher standard? I know what some people think, if you have one religion represented you have to have another, and that is where people are divided. But I think they make it much more complicated than need be. I am Christian. I'm okay with a Catholic Priest, a Christian Pastor, a Mormon Bishop, a Jewish Rabbi, a Protestant and yes even an Imam coming together and giving a blessing, saying a prayer, seeking God in this mess we have made of everything. After all, if we don't start leaning on God and putting it in His hands, how will we ever be a great nation again?
